Welcome to Part 20 — the final chapter of the Foodie App with Next.js & TypeScript series!
In this session, we’ll take our completed project live by deploying it to a modern hosting platform. You’ll learn how to prepare your codebase for production, configure environment variables, and publish your app for real users to experience.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Building and optimizing your Next.js app for production
✔️ Setting environment variables for API and database connections
✔️ Deploying on Vercel (official Next.js platform)
✔️ Alternative deployment options (Netlify, Render, AWS Amplify)
✔️ Verifying build success and fixing common deployment issues

💡 Why This Step Matters:
🔹 Makes your app publicly accessible with a custom domain
🔹 Demonstrates CI/CD workflow and scalability readiness
🔹 Marks the transition from local development to live production
