It has always been a wonder to me how websites are deployed. I have always been curious about how the process works and how the website is made available to the public. I questioned how to obtain a DNS, take an extensive application, and make it available to the world into the deep ocean of the internet. This week, I learned how to deploy a website using Netlify by connecting Netlify to my GitHub repository. From my repo, I am able to deploy my blog website as I manage the code with Astro and GitHub. Netlify also has a dashboard to manage my website, where I can check the status and change configurations if needed.
There is still a lot to learn about Netlify and how to use it to its full potential. I can add a custom domain, use a form to collect data, and use their authentication service. This is just the beginning of learning how to deploy, and where the real fun begins!
