Deployment & Testing

Prerequisite

Please refer to the Developement Guide to learn how to develop and test your extension locally.

Pre-Deployment​

Once you have completed the development and local testing of your extension, the next step is to deploy it to a cloud provider of your choice. Key considerations for production deployment:

  • Environment Variables: Update the .env file with the correct API key, secret, and launch URL for the production environment.
  • Best Practices: Go through the Deployment Best Practices Checklist to ensure you’ve implemented proper observability, performance optimizations, and security measures.
  • Start Production Server: Run the command npm run start:prod to launch the production server.

Deployment Methods​

We recommend deploying your extension in a serverless manner for scalability and cost-effectiveness. Learn more about our Recommended Deployment Methods.

Post-Deployment​

After deployment, verify that your extension is functioning as expected. Refer to the Testing Best Practices Checklist to ensure quality across the following aspects:

  • Functionality
  • User Experience (UX)
  • Load Handling
  • Accessibility
  • Cross-Browser & Cross-Device Compatibility

For a smooth and efficient process, consider writing automated tests wherever possible.
