CodePen Training – Mastering CodePen: Final Deployment

🔥 In Part 19 of the Mastering CodePen series, we wrap things up by deploying your full CodePen clone to production so you can share your app with the world!

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ Prepping your React project for deployment (build optimization)
✔️ Setting up environment variables securely (.env)
✔️ Deploying using Vercel, Netlify, or Firebase Hosting
✔️ Configuring routing for SPA (Single Page Application) support
✔️ Setting up custom domains (optional)
✔️ Connecting to Firebase Firestore/Auth in a live environment
✔️ Debugging common deployment issues (404s, permissions, etc.)
✔️ Ensuring mobile responsiveness and production-ready performance

💡 Why Deployment Is Important:
🔹 Takes your project from local to live—real-world web development!
🔹 Lets you demo your work in interviews, portfolios, and hackathons
🔹 Reinforces end-to-end dev workflow: build → test → deploy
🔹 Encourages proper structure, environment handling, and app readiness
