01 Let’s make this about you
What do you want
to put into the world?
A working product starts with a useful first piece.
Pick an example. See how the pieces could fit.
For the next product you want to ship
A customer portal. An internal tool. Your next big thing.
Give your app a home, connect the data it needs, and get a URL you can put in someone’s hands.
Your first useful step
Start with the application. Add a separate frontend only if your architecture needs it.
Possible architectureExample / Customer portal
Your repositoryGitHub · main
01Web serviceApplication + API
02Your databaseExisting or new connection
03Your first useful milestone: a web service you can open and test.
You don’t need the whole architecture on day one.
Start with the core service. Connect the next piece when it becomes useful. Add more services as your product grows and you learn what it needs.
02 Let’s see it happen
From “it works locally”
to “here’s the link.”
No leap of faith. Walk through the steps for your
customer portal, before you create an account.
Step 01 / 04
Bring your code
Choose a repository and branch. Keep working with the code and tools your team knows.
You decide which repository to connect. Start with a small service you can safely evaluate.

03 The questions worth asking
“Could this work
for my setup?”
Let’s get specific. Here’s what matters
for a web app.
Have a different situation?Tell us what you’re working on
Will I need to rewrite my app?
Start by checking your framework and build commands. Replov supports repository builds and container-based workflows; your app still needs a compatible runtime and configuration.
Check your frameworkCan I keep my database where it is?
Yes, when it is reachable from your service and its access rules allow the connection. Configure credentials as environment variables and consider network latency before moving production traffic.
See database connectionsWhat if I only have a frontend?
Choose a static site for a build that produces static files. An app that renders on the server needs a web service and running compute.
Explore static hosting04 Look under the hood
Your confidence should
come from the details.
Inspect the controls, the documentation and the cost.
Then decide what you want to try.
Docs & developer workflow
See how a deployment works.
Review repository builds, service configuration, deployment states, and the current update behavior before you launch.
Read the deployment lifecycleCost & commitment
Understand the bill first.
Compare compute rates and expected runtime. Account for the databases, storage and model usage you add.
The next step can be a small one.
Bring one idea.
See where it goes.
You don’t have to commit your whole product. Start with one service, learn from it, and build from there.
You’ll review the configuration and plan before deploying.
