| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The `deno deploy` command provides a powerful CLI for deploying and managing |
| 8 | +applications on [Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup>](https://deno.com/deploy). |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +If you already have an app to deploy you can skip to |
| 11 | +[Deploying your application](#deploying-your-application), or read on to make |
| 12 | +and then deploy a simple app. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Prerequisites |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Before using the deploy command, you will need access to Deno |
| 17 | +Deploy<sup>EA</sup>, and you will need a Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup> organization. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +1. Visit the |
| 20 | + [Deno Deploy account settings](https://dash.deno.com/account#early-access) |
| 21 | +2. Turn on the "Enable Early Access" toggle |
| 22 | +3. Create a Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup> organization in the |
| 23 | + [Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup> dashboard](https://app.deno.com/). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Create a simple web application |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +First, let's create a basic HTTP server that will serve as our application. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```bash |
| 32 | +mkdir my-deploy-app |
| 33 | +cd my-deploy-app |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Initialize a new Deno project: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```bash |
| 39 | +deno init |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Replace the contents of `main.ts` with a simple HTTP server: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```ts title="main.ts" |
| 45 | +Deno.serve({ port: 8000 }, (req) => { |
| 46 | + const url = new URL(req.url); |
| 47 | + const userAgent = req.headers.get("user-agent") || "unknown"; |
| 48 | + const timestamp = new Date().toISOString(); |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + // Log every request |
| 51 | + console.log( |
| 52 | + `[${timestamp}] ${req.method} ${url.pathname} - User-Agent: ${userAgent}`, |
| 53 | + ); |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + // Simple routing |
| 56 | + if (url.pathname === "/") { |
| 57 | + console.log("Serving home page"); |
| 58 | + return new Response( |
| 59 | + ` |
| 60 | + <html> |
| 61 | + <head><title>My Deploy App</title></head> |
| 62 | + <body> |
| 63 | + <h1>Welcome to My Deploy App!</h1> |
| 64 | + <p>This app was deployed using the deno deploy command.</p> |
| 65 | + <nav> |
| 66 | + <a href="/about">About</a> | |
| 67 | + <a href="/api/status">API Status</a> | |
| 68 | + <a href="/api/error">Test Error</a> |
| 69 | + </nav> |
| 70 | + </body> |
| 71 | + </html> |
| 72 | + `, |
| 73 | + { |
| 74 | + headers: { "content-type": "text/html" }, |
| 75 | + }, |
| 76 | + ); |
| 77 | + } |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + if (url.pathname === "/about") { |
| 80 | + console.log("Serving about page"); |
| 81 | + return new Response( |
| 82 | + ` |
| 83 | + <html> |
| 84 | + <head><title>About - My Deploy App</title></head> |
| 85 | + <body> |
| 86 | + <h1>About This App</h1> |
| 87 | + <p>This is a simple demonstration of deploying with the deno deploy CLI.</p> |
| 88 | + <p>Check the logs to see request information!</p> |
| 89 | + <a href="/">← Back to Home</a> |
| 90 | + </body> |
| 91 | + </html> |
| 92 | + `, |
| 93 | + { |
| 94 | + headers: { "content-type": "text/html" }, |
| 95 | + }, |
| 96 | + ); |
| 97 | + } |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | + if (url.pathname === "/api/status") { |
| 100 | + const responseData = { |
| 101 | + status: "ok", |
| 102 | + timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), |
| 103 | + message: "API is running successfully", |
| 104 | + requestCount: Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1, // Simulate request counter |
| 105 | + }; |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | + console.log("API status check - all systems operational"); |
| 108 | + console.log(`Response data:`, responseData); |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | + return Response.json(responseData); |
| 111 | + } |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + if (url.pathname === "/api/error") { |
| 114 | + // This endpoint demonstrates error logging |
| 115 | + console.error("Error endpoint accessed - demonstrating error logging"); |
| 116 | + console.warn("This is a warning message that will appear in logs"); |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | + return Response.json({ |
| 119 | + error: "This is a test error for demonstration", |
| 120 | + timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), |
| 121 | + tip: "Check the logs with: deno deploy logs", |
| 122 | + }, { status: 500 }); |
| 123 | + } |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | + // 404 for all other routes |
| 126 | + console.warn(`404 - Route not found: ${url.pathname}`); |
| 127 | + return new Response("Not Found", { status: 404 }); |
| 128 | +}); |
| 129 | +``` |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +### Test your application locally |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +Update the `dev` task in the `deno.json` file in the root, to allow network |
| 134 | +access: |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +```json |
| 137 | +"dev": "deno run -N --watch main.ts" |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +Then run the dev command: |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +```sh |
| 143 | +deno run dev |
| 144 | +``` |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +Visit `http://localhost:8000` to see your application running. Try navigating to |
| 147 | +the different routes (`/about`, `/api/status`, and `/api/error`) to verify |
| 148 | +everything works. You'll notice that each request is logged to the console - |
| 149 | +these are the same logs you'll be able to see when the app is deployed! |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +## Authentication |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +The `deno deploy` command handles authentication automatically. When you first |
| 154 | +run a deploy command, it will prompt you to authenticate. Run the deploy command |
| 155 | +with the `--help` flag to see all available options: |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +```bash |
| 158 | +deno deploy --help |
| 159 | +``` |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +:::note Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup> organization requirement |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +If you don't already have a Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup> organization set up, you |
| 164 | +can create one through the |
| 165 | +[Deno Deploy<sup>EA</sup> web app](https://app.deno.com). |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +::: |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +## Deploy your application |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +Now let's use the `deno deploy` command to deploy your application! Ensure that |
| 172 | +you are in the root directory of your project and run: |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +```bash |
| 175 | +deno deploy |
| 176 | +``` |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +Select the appropriate options in the terminal when prompted. |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +The deployment process will: |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +1. Make a tarball of your application code |
| 183 | +2. Upload the tarball to Deno Deploy |
| 184 | +3. Unpack the tarball |
| 185 | +4. Build and deploy to the edge network |
| 186 | +5. Provide you with a live URL |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +You have now successfully deployed your application! You can visit the returned |
| 189 | +URL to see your app in action. |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +If you need to make changes to your application, simply update your code and run |
| 192 | +the `deno deploy` command again. |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +Our demo application had some logging built in, we can use the built in logging |
| 195 | +features of Deno Deploy to monitor the application. |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +## Monitoring your application |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +### View application logs |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +After deploying your application, you can stream live logs to see exactly what's |
| 202 | +happening on the app: |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +```bash |
| 205 | +deno deploy logs |
| 206 | +``` |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +Visit your application URL and navigate to different pages. You'll see logs |
| 209 | +like: |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +- Request logs showing HTTP method, path, and user agent |
| 212 | +- Info logs from `console.log()` calls |
| 213 | +- Warning logs from `console.warn()` calls |
| 214 | +- Error logs from `console.error()` calls |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +Open your app url in the browser and try visiting the `/api/error` endpoint to |
| 217 | +see the error logs in action. |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +### View logs for a specific time range |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +To view logs for a specific time range, you can use the `--start` and `--end` |
| 222 | +flags: |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +```bash |
| 225 | +deno deploy logs \ |
| 226 | + --start "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z" \ |
| 227 | + --end "2024-01-01T23:59:59Z" |
| 228 | +``` |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +## Managing environment variables |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +Your application might need environment variables for configuration. The |
| 233 | +`deno deploy` command provides comprehensive environment variable management. |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +### List environment variables |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +You can view all environment variables for your application: |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +```bash |
| 240 | +deno deploy env list |
| 241 | +``` |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +### Add and update environment variables |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +To add individual environment variables, use the `deno deploy env add` command, |
| 246 | +for example: |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +```bash |
| 249 | +deno deploy env add API_KEY "your-secret-key" |
| 250 | +deno deploy env add DATABASE_URL "postgresql://..." |
| 251 | +``` |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +Then to update them, use the `deno deploy env update-value` command, for |
| 254 | +example: |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +```bash |
| 257 | +deno deploy env update-value API_KEY "new-secret-key" |
| 258 | +deno deploy env update-value DATABASE_URL "postgresql://new-user:new-pass@localhost/new-db" |
| 259 | +``` |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +### Delete environment variables |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +To delete an environment variable, use the `deno deploy env delete` command, for |
| 264 | +example: |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +```bash |
| 267 | +deno deploy env delete API_KEY |
| 268 | +deno deploy env delete DATABASE_URL |
| 269 | +``` |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | +### Load environment variables from a .env file |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +You can also use an `.env` file to load your environment variables to your |
| 274 | +deployed app: |
| 275 | + |
| 276 | +```bash |
| 277 | +deno deploy env load .env |
| 278 | +``` |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +🦕 You've successfully deployed your first application with the `deno deploy` |
| 281 | +command! Check out the [`deno deploy` docs](/runtime/reference/cli/deploy/) for |
| 282 | +more commands and options. |
