What is Deployment?
The process of making your application available for users to access on the internet
Why It Matters
Deployment takes your code from your computer and puts it somewhere users can access it, making your product real
Real-World Example
After testing your website locally, you deploy it to Vercel so anyone can visit it
“Understanding terms like Deployment matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
