Web API Deployment Tutorial

Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial for deploying your first Web API.

We'll walk you through the essential steps, covering setup, deployment, and some basic considerations.

Prerequisites

You'll need a development environment setup with Node.js, npm (or yarn), and a suitable code editor (e.g., VS Code).

Step 1: Project Setup

Create a new Node.js project using Node.js:

npm create vite@latest my-webapi-app

Navigate to the project directory:cd my-webapi-app

Install dependencies:npm install

Step 2: Code Implementation

Implement the core API functions (e.g., a simple endpoint that returns a greeting).

Remember to use the `server.js` file and use the `console.log` to debug.

Step 3: Deployment

Deploy your API using a platform like Heroku, AWS, or Netlify.

Follow the instructions for the chosen platform based on your deployment strategy.
