InstaPods Client App Deployment (Delivery)

InstaPods Client App Deployment (Delivery)

1. 01

   Create an InstaPods account and select the Build plan

   Choose the Build plan at $7/month to access databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis), Git Deploy, and MCP Server features needed for client projects.

2. 02

   Deploy a test full-stack application via CLI

   Run the single command deployment to auto-detect the stack, provision the server, and return a live URL. Verify the web IDE and SSH access work as expected.

3. 03

   Configure a database for the client app

   Provision a MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Redis database from the dashboard. Note the connection string and ensure it is accessible from the deployed app.

4. 04

   Set up custom domain and auto-SSL

   In the domain settings, add the client's custom domain and enable auto-SSL to provision HTTPS automatically. Verify the certificate is active.

5. 05

   Connect the client's Git repository for automated deploys

   Use Git Deploy to link the client's repository. Push a commit to trigger a deployment, confirming the pipeline works end-to-end.

6. 06

   Integrate AI coding tools via MCP server

   Connect Claude, Cursor, Lovable, or Bolt to the InstaPods MCP server. Test an AI-assisted deployment to speed up future iterations.

7. 07

   Document the deployment workflow for client handoff

   Record the deployment steps, SSH access details, and web IDE usage in a handoff document. Train the client on how to push updates via Git.
