Hie @PaulBratslavsky

unfortunately for some reasons I will not be able to continue working on this. But, below, I listed some points to consider when writing the article.

Here are some points to include when writing this article;

[Title] Strapi deployment options and how to pick one.

[Introduction] A brief, motivating introduction plus a teaser of the upcoming Strapi Cloud (future best deployment option).

Migrations between Strapi environments && how to handle different migrations;

• Development
• Production
• Test

Frontend & Backend deployments (separation of concern);

• using webhooks to trigger rebuild events.

Deployment considerations;

• One-click deployments.
• Manual deployments.

Deployment options available;

• 21YunBox
• Amazon AWS
• Azure
• Cleavr
• e.t.c

Pros and Cons of the aforementioned "Deployment options"

Additional software that can supplement or enhance the deployment process, when utilizing Strapi in a production-like environment,

@dessireugarte Can i take this up?

[bomanaps]

I would love to write on this.

[dessireugarte]

Hello @ibn-ashimi 👋 Thanks for reaching out. Please go ahead and let us know when the draft is ready to review.

[dessireugarte]

Hello @bomanaps 👋 Someone else to it but other articles are currently without an author assigned, would you be interested in any of these? The cards with the "Looking for an author" tag.

[Ashimi0x]

Alright @dessireugarte. Thanks!

I wrote something tangentially related to this: https://twitter.com/spirobel/status/1555473443839098880 it also has a small video to show how easy it is. I think this is truly the easiest option to get people started. It is basically just 2 clicks. No need to learn about databases haha. I originally wrote this as a reply in Pauls awesome coding group 🙂 😅 😎 but I thought it might also be helpful to others so I put it in my substack: https://spirobel.substack.com/p/a-first-look-at-strapi?utm_source=%2Finbox&utm_medium=reader2 more than happy if you want to copy and paste parts from this. I can also turn it into a real article for your blog if no one else is interested.

Hello, @ibn-ashimi. I dropped a couple of comments on the doc. Please, check, fix, and revert. Thanks!

[Ashimi0x]

Hi Boss @TiaraOluwanimi. Have you had time to check this?

[dessireugarte]

Hello @TiaraOluwanimi This article is good to be added to the backend. I'll let you know asap when we are publishing this one @ibn-ashimi

[Ashimi0x]

Thank you @dessireugarte

[Ashimi0x]

@dessireugarte Any update on this?

[dessireugarte]

Hello @ibn-ashimi. I previously said it was ready, but there was one last review done and feedback from the review. I left comments on the document. After those changes, we will publish it asap.

[dessireugarte]

Hello @ibn-ashimi! Did you get the chance to make the changes requested?

[Ashimi0x]

yes please. Take a look.

[dessireugarte]

@ibn-ashimi I left this comment: Hello ​@Abdulwahab. I still feel this article is not providing too much information about the deployment options. I made some changes to the structure, and I had to delete the one-click deployment options since we don’t maintain them anymore. I expanded the introduction of Heroku to exemplify how could each option could be described (including the most popular ones). As soon as the changes are done, we will publish it ​👍
