A full-stack application includes one or more web pages, a backend (which usually involve microservices) and some sort of storage engine (i.e a database).
To deploy all of that together, you have to:

  1. Prepare the Application: Build the frontend (e.g., using npm run build). Ensure the back-end is production-ready (e.g., environment variables, database setup).
  2. Deploy Frontend: Push the code into the servers, usually something like AWS S3, GCP Cloud Storage, or Firebase Hosting to host static files. Configure a CDN (e.g., CloudFront) if needed for static content.
  3. Deploy Back-End: Use cloud services like AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine, or a managed platform like AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Set up environment variables and connect to the database (e.g., RDS, Cloud SQL).
  4. Database: Use a managed database service (e.g., RDS, Firestore) for scalability, or deploy an on-prem database on your server.
  5. DNS and SSL: Configure a custom domain and HTTPS using AWS Route 53, GCP Domains, or another provider.
