About the course

In this course, you’ll learn how to deploy your Node.js applications to the web. We’ll be using DigitalOcean, but these skills are transferrable to other services, such as Linode. We’ll cover server (or droplet) setup and configuration, adding a domain name to our droplet, uploading our Node API to the server and getting the application running. We’ll also set up Nginx as a proxy for our Node API and set up SSL/HTTPS. This is part four of a four part series. Get the full benefit by completing them in order:
  • Getting Started with Node.js
  • Introduction to ES6
  • Creating a REST API with Node
  • Deploying a Node.js App to DigitalOcean
