Details
From the project READMEShip the app live
Take the current project from local to a live, shareable URL: deploy the Convex backend to the cloud (claiming the anonymous deployment if needed), build the web app, and publish it to *.convex.app.
Workflow
- If on an anonymous deployment, claim/persist it to the cloud (Tier-2 sign-in).
convex deploythe backend.- Build the web app (static export) and upload via the moderated publish gateway → returns the *.convex.app URL.
- Give the user the live URL; offer a custom domain (own one →
domains; find/buy →labs-acquire-domain).
Rules
- Publishing is a privileged action — it runs through the control plane after the moderation gate; the agent never holds the deploy key.
- Confirm before publishing (it produces a public URL).
- Offer a custom domain after a successful publish:
