COMMIT

SHIP WITH CONFIDENCE AND ITERATE

PURPOSE

Your EVALUATE phase confirmed your features work. Now it's time to launch! But remember: this isn't the end - it's the beginning of your next iteration. The ACE Method is a cycle, not a straight line.

Deploy

Get your application live and accessible. Your AI assistant can help with deployment commands and configurations.

Monitor

Track how your software performs in production. Watch for errors, performance issues, and user behavior.

Iterate

Gather feedback and return to ANALYZE for your next round of improvements. Each cycle makes your product better.

DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST

Before going live, ensure you've completed:

  • Environment Variables - API keys and secrets are properly configured, not hardcoded
  • Error Handling - Graceful failures with user-friendly error messages
  • Performance Check - Load times are acceptable, no memory leaks or bottlenecks
  • Security Review - Authentication works, data is protected, inputs are validated
  • Documentation - README is updated, API docs are current, deployment steps are clear
  • Backup Plan - Know how to rollback if something goes wrong

Not sure about something? Better to fix it now than debug it in production!

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

Choose the right platform for your project. Here are popular options:

Static Sites & SPAs

  • Vercel - Great for Next.js, React. Automatic deploys from Git
  • Netlify - Simple drag-and-drop. Perfect for beginners
  • GitHub Pages - Free hosting directly from your repo

Full-Stack Applications

  • Railway - One-click deploys. Great developer experience
  • Render - Free tier available. Auto-scaling built in
  • Fly.io - Global edge deployment. Fast worldwide

Enterprise & Scale

  • AWS - Most features, steeper learning curve
  • Google Cloud - Great for AI/ML workloads
  • Azure - Integrates well with Microsoft tools

COMMIT TEMPLATE

COMMIT Phase - Ship It and Own It

Phase 5 of 5 | START -> ANALYZE -> CREATE -> EVALUATE -> COMMIT

Most projects die at deployment. COMMIT ensures yours thrives with production-ready deployment guides, monitoring setup, and a growth plan that turns launches into success stories.

NEXT STEPS

What you deployed from EVALUATE: A tested, working application ready for real users

  1. Monitor - Track errors, performance, user behavior
  2. Iterate - Fix bugs, ship improvements regularly
  3. Restart - Return to Analyze with new insights

The ACE Cycle Continues: Each iteration makes your product better. Ready for round two?

Phase 5 of 5 - But really, it's just the beginning!
