When you’re ready to deploy your Taubyte project to production, the process is straightforward. Whether you’ve been developing locally with Dream or directly on GitHub, you can ship your project to a production Taubyte cloud with just a few steps.

The deployment process involves:

  1. Importing your project into your production cloud
  2. Triggering builds for your repositories

That’s it. Let’s walk through it.

Importing Your Project

You can import using either the web console or the Tau CLI. The web console is the easiest, so we’ll use that here.

Step 1: Connect to Your Production Cloud

If you’re currently connected to Dream, log out first.

Then:

  1. Navigate to console.taubyte.com
  2. Select Custom from the network dropdown
  3. Enter your cloud’s FQDN (e.g., mycloud.example.com)
  4. Click Validate
  5. Log in with GitHub as usual

Step 2: Import the Project

On the projects page:

  1. Click Import Project
  2. Select the repository you want to import

The web console will automatically identify eligible repositories. If you choose a config repo, it can even match the corresponding code repo.

If you don’t see what you need, you can enter repositories manually.

Step 3: Verify Import

Once imported, you’ll see your project in the dashboard with all its resources—functions, databases, websites, and more.

Triggering Builds

Once imported, you need to trigger builds for each repository.

Scenario 1: Developed on Main Branch

If you’ve built your project locally using the main branch, push your changes to each repository in this order:

  1. Config repo first
  2. Code repo second
  3. All other repositories (libraries, websites) last

This order ensures that configuration is in place before code is built.

How to Push

Simply push to GitHub:

# In your config repo
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy to production"
git push origin main

# In your code repo
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy to production"
git push origin main

# Repeat for other repos

Each push triggers a build automatically via GitHub webhooks.

Conclusion

You’ve learned how to:

  1. Import your project into production
  2. Trigger builds based on your development workflow
  3. Verify the deployment
  4. Set up continuous deployment

With Taubyte, shipping to production is as simple as merging to main. Your cloud handles the rest—building, deploying, and scaling automatically.
