Deploying Alinea

Once you're ready to deploy to production it's time to hook up Alinea to a backend. Alinea exposes a handler that can be hosted on most Javascript runtimes (Node.js or edge/serverless functions). The handler needs access to a backend service that can authenticate users, store drafts and publish changes back to the git repository.

Get started by exporting the dashboard and handler, then connect it to a backend.

Self-hosted backend

Alinea ships with some packages that help you build a backend from scratch.

Cloud backend

Alinea.cloud provides a cloud service to setup a backend in a few clicks. It takes care of authentication, inviting other users to collaborate and pushing changes to Github.
