Serving for the win - Deploys and hosting for the rest of us
summary
Describes concrete failures and fixes: FTP-and-manual-file-dragging leaves deployments unknowable; version control must extend to production so every deploy is a deploys tied to git tags and repeatable. Shows builds on Jenkins and Google Cloud/App Engine, Netlify running CI to produce preview builds from pull requests, immutable deploys and branch-based A/B testing. Demonstrates that automating builds early, exposing red‑flags sooner, and making rollbacks trivial turns launch day from terror into routine.
