How to deploy a Xano application to production?

Step 1: Prepare Your Environment

  • Make sure your Xano project is all set and bug-free.
  • Test every endpoint and logic thoroughly in a staging or development environment.
  • Double-check that all dependencies and integrations are working as they should.

Step 2: Backup Your Data and Configurations

  • Create a backup of your Xano database.
  • Export your current environment configurations and keep a copy safe.

Step 3: Configure Production Environment

  • Set up a production workspace in your Xano account.
  • Allocate the necessary resources in this workspace based on your expected traffic.

Step 4: Copy Project to Production Workspace

  • Use Xano's workspace cloning feature to copy your project from staging/development to the new production workspace.
  • Make sure data and configurations replicate correctly during the cloning process.

Step 5: Update Environment Variables

  • Ensure all environment-specific variables are updated for production. This might include API keys, database connections, and other secrets.
  • Cross-verify the values to make sure everything is set up correctly.

Step 6: Set Up Domain and SSL

  • Configure a custom domain for your Xano API if needed.
  • Set up SSL certificates to ensure secure communication for your production environment.

Step 7: Conduct Final Testing

  • Perform thorough testing in the production workspace to ensure everything is working correctly.
  • Test critical functionalities, endpoints, and integrations.

Step 8: Monitor and Scale

  • Once deployed, use Xano's built-in monitoring tools to keep an eye on application performance.
  • Be ready to scale your resources based on the traffic and load your application gets.

Step 9: Update DNS

  • If you're changing the domain, update DNS settings to point to the new production environment.
  • Allow proper time for DNS propagation to ensure seamless access.

Step 10: Go Live

  • Announce the deployment internally and externally if needed.
  • Keep a close watch on the application for any issues in the initial hours or days post-deployment.

Step 11: Routine Maintenance

  • Set up regular backups and maintenance schedules.
  • Monitor application logs for any errors or performance issues and address them proactively.
