Deploy your first app

This page shows how to deploy a Serverpod server to Serverpod Cloud using the scloud CLI. After completing these steps, your server will be running in a managed production environment.

Prerequisites​

Before deploying, make sure you have:

  • Completed the Installation steps (scloud installed and authenticated).
  • A Serverpod project on your machine.
  • Have created a new project in the Serverpod Cloud console.

If you haven't yet created a Serverpod project, you can read more about how to get started on it in our Serverpod framework documentation.

Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of your Serverpod project:

cd your_serverpod_project

Launch the project on Serverpod Cloud​

Run the interactive launch command:

scloud launch

This command guides you through the initial setup and deployment. It will:

  • Create a new Serverpod Cloud project (if you haven't created one in the console).
  • Configure the deployment environment.
  • Build and deploy your server.

During the process, the CLI will ask you to confirm configuration options for your project.

Verify the deployment​

It will take a few minutes for your project to be uploaded, built, and deployed. Check the status of your last deployment with:

scloud deployment show

The command prints information about your deployment and its status. Once the deployment completes successfully, your Serverpod server will be running on Serverpod Cloud.

For subsequent deploys, status checks, and the rest of the deploy lifecycle, see the Deployments concept page.
