Deploy to Netlify
Netlify is an excellent solution for deploying and hosting Gridsome sites. Netlify is a unified platform that automates your code to create high-performant, easily maintainable sites and web apps. They provide continuous deployment (Git-triggered builds), an intelligent, global CDN, full DNS (including custom domains), automated HTTPS, asset acceleration, and more.
Their free tier includes unlimited personal and commercial projects, HTTPS, continuous deployment from public or private repos and more. Here are a few ways to deploy your Gridsome applications to Netlify:
From your Git repository
To deploy your Gridsome site to Netlify, go to your Netlify app and click New site from Git. Select your project repo from either GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
Add these build settings:
- Build Command:gridsome build
- Publish directory:dist
And click Deploy Site to deploy your application.
Deploy to Vercel
Vercel is a cloud platform that enables developers to host Jamstack websites and web services that deploy instantly, scale automatically, and require no supervision, all with zero configuration. They provide a global edge network, SSL encryption, asset compression, cache invalidation, and more.
To deploy your Gridsome app with a Vercel for Git Integration, push your code to a repository on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
Import the project into Vercel using the Import Flow. During the import, you will find all relevant options preconfigured for you.
After your project has been imported, all subsequent user pushes to branches will generate Preview Deployments, and all users changes made to the Production Branch (commonly "main") will result in a Production Deployment.
Once deployed, you will get a URL to see your app live, such as the following: https://gridsome.now-examples.now.sh.
