Deploy Stack

Deploy Stack

Deploys multiple components to an environment in the correct order.

Deployment Order

For a full stack deployment:

1. Backend (first - frontend depends on API)
2. Frontend (after backend API is available)
3. Landing (independent, can be parallel)

Commands

Deploy All to Dev

# 1. Backend
cd back && npx sst deploy --stage dev

# 2. Frontend (after backend completes)
cd ../front && npx sst deploy --stage dev

# 3. Landing (can run in parallel with frontend)
cd ../landing && npx sst deploy --stage dev

Deploy All to Production

# 1. Backend
cd back && npx sst deploy --stage prod

# 2. Run migrations
aws lambda invoke --function-name template-saas-api-migrate-lambda-prod /dev/null

# 3. Frontend
cd ../front && npx sst deploy --stage prod

# 4. Landing
cd ../landing && npx sst deploy --stage prod

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Secrets

Ensure all secrets are set for the target stage:

Backend:

npx sst secret set DbConnStr "..." --stage <stage>
npx sst secret set ClerkSecretKey "..." --stage <stage>
npx sst secret set ClerkWebhookSecret "..." --stage <stage>

Frontend:

npx sst secret set ClerkPublishableKey "..." --stage <stage>
npx sst secret set ClerkSecretKey "..." --stage <stage>

Quality Checks

Run quality checks before deployment:

# Backend
cd back && task format && task tests

# Frontend
cd front && pnpm type-check && pnpm lint && pnpm build

# Landing
cd landing && pnpm type-check && pnpm lint && pnpm build

CI/CD Alternative

Manual stack deployment should only be needed for:

• Initial setup
• Emergency fixes
• Development testing

For normal deployments, use CI/CD:

• Push to develop → deploys to dev stage
• Push to main → deploys to prod stage

Rollback

If deployment fails:

1. Check SST console for errors:

   npx sst console --stage <stage>
   

2. Check CloudWatch logs for Lambda errors

3. For frontend: Previous CloudFront distribution remains until new deploy succeeds

4. For backend: Revert code and redeploy

Domain Verification

After deployment, verify domains are accessible:
