cloud-deployment
Provides guidance and resources for deploying applications to various cloud platforms like Vercel, Railway, Render, and Fly.io. Use this skill when a user asks to deploy an application, set up a cloud environment, or needs help with cloud configuration, CI/CD, custom domains, and rollbacks for these platforms.
When & Why to Use This Skill
This Claude skill provides comprehensive guidance and technical resources for deploying web applications to modern cloud platforms like Vercel, Railway, Render, and Fly.io. It streamlines the transition from development to production by assisting with platform selection, environment configuration, CI/CD setup, and infrastructure management, ensuring a reliable and scalable hosting environment.
Use Cases
- Platform Selection: Helping developers choose the most suitable cloud provider (e.g., Vercel for frontend, Fly.io for global distribution) based on project requirements and strengths.
- Automated Deployment Setup: Utilizing boilerplate templates (like vercel.json, render.yaml, or fly.toml) to quickly configure and launch applications.
- Environment & Database Management: Guiding the setup of production environment variables and secure database connections for various cloud environments.
- Domain and Security Configuration: Providing step-by-step instructions for custom domain mapping and SSL/TLS certificate setup to ensure secure web access.
- CI/CD and Rollback Management: Assisting in the implementation of continuous integration/deployment workflows and providing procedures for quick rollbacks during deployment failures.

Cloud Deployment Skill
Overview
This skill provides a structured workflow and reference materials for deploying web applications to popular cloud platforms. It covers platform selection, configuration, and management of common deployment tasks.
1. Select a Deployment Platform
The first step is to determine the best platform for the user's project. If the user hasn't already chosen a platform, guide them through the decision process.
Action: Read references/platform_selection_guide.md to understand the strengths of each platform (Vercel, Railway, Render, Fly.io) and help the user make a choice.
2. Follow Platform-Specific Guide
Once a platform is chosen, use the corresponding guide in the references/ directory. Each guide contains a deployment checklist, CI/CD information, and rollback procedures.
- Vercel:
references/vercel.md - Railway:
references/railway.md - Render:
references/render.md - Fly.io:
references/fly_io.md
3. Use General Guides for Common Tasks
For tasks that are common across all platforms, refer to references/general_guides.md. This file contains instructions for:
- Environment Variable Setup
- Database Connection
- Custom Domain Configuration
- SSL/TLS Certificate Setup
4. Use Asset Templates
The assets/ directory contains boilerplate configuration files for each platform. Copy these to the user's project as a starting point.
