Deploy Claude Code to Production in MINUTES

This tutorial walks through setting up a CI/CD pipeline for a Claude Code SaaS starter: pushing local code to GitHub, configuring Vercel deployments and Neon Postgres, adding OAuth domains in Google Cloud, assigning a custom domain via DNS, and verifying authentication and AI features in production. It emphasizes safe rollout practices and testing production behavior early.

– Push local repository to GitHub for backup, collaboration, and frequent commits; clone and run the provided terminal commands.

– Deploy on Vercel: import the repo, add environment variables, and replace local Postgres URL with a production Neon DB.

– Configure OAuth URIs in Google Cloud, update the public app URL in environment variables, and redeploy to enable authentication in production.

– (Optional) Register or connect a custom domain, update DNS records (A and CNAME), wait for SSL, and reassign the domain in both Vercel and Google Cloud to complete production setup.

Quotes:

Trust me, just because the stuff works in dev does not always mean it’s going to work in production.

By storing this code on GitHub, we effectively have an online backup of our project.

We now have a local development environment, and a deployment pipeline from Dev to production.
