Cloud deployment

Cloud deployment means putting an app or website onto servers run by a provider like Google, Microsoft, or Amazon, instead of a computer in your office. Your customers and staff then use it through the internet from anywhere. For small teams, nearly everything is already deployed in the cloud, from your Shopify store to your booking system. Cloud deployment matters most when you build something custom, like a client portal or an internal tool. A good deployment includes backups, security updates, and a way to roll back if an update breaks something. Costs can creep up if nobody watches them, so set a spending alert from day one.
