Deployment and Migration Guides

Deploy Next.js without Vercel: Temps, Railway, Docker on a VPS or Cloudflare Workers, with deploy commands, 2026 pricing and honest trade-offs for each.

Move a Next.js app off Vercel step by step: export environment variables, swap @vercel/ imports, update DNS. Two paths, 15 minutes or a couple of hours.

Move from Coolify to Temps by hand: redeploy the same Docker Compose project, copy the database, cut DNS over without downtime and verify with a checklist.

Deploy Next.js to a VPS step by step: Node.js 24, PM2, Nginx, Let's Encrypt and GitHub Actions, plus the monitoring most guides skip and a self-hosted option.

Set up preview environments for every pull request: a DIY webhook, Docker and Traefik pipeline, or one toggle in Temps. Compared with Coolify and Vercel.

A 15-step VPS security checklist for Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12: SSH keys, a firewall Docker can't bypass, auto-updates, fail2ban, TLS, tested backups.

Best platforms for per-PR preview deployments in 2026: Temps, Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render and Coolify compared on access control, idle cost and cleanup.

Run migrations once per release, not in the start command: expand/contract, which tools take a lock, and how to run them as a one-off step on a Temps server.

Seven platforms ranked on zero-downtime deploys: Temps, Vercel, Fly.io, Render, Railway, Coolify and Kamal, compared on health checks, draining and rollback.

Continuous deployment costs $0–200/mo for most small teams: GitHub Actions at $0.006/min, Vercel seats, Netlify Pro at $20 flat, Render and Temps.

Ten deployment platforms ranked for solo developers on price, deploy speed, free tier and lock-in. Temps bundles deploys and observability free to self-host.

Seven self-hosted deployment platforms compared: Temps, Coolify, Dokploy, CapRover, Kamal, Dokku and Portainer. Only Temps bundles analytics and replay.

Vercel Pro charges $20 per deploying seat plus usage. 2026 pricing for Temps, Railway, Render, Netlify, Cloudflare and more, compared feature by feature.

Migrate TimescaleDB between Docker containers safely: the pg_dump pre/post-restore path, the timescaledb-ha volume-path trap, and verifying hypertables.

What actually happens between git push and your app being live: webhook delivery, build queues, health checks and the traffic swap, explained step by step.

Why we chose Rust for a deployment platform: one self-contained binary, no GC pauses in the Pingora proxy, and four build targets from one source tree.

Blue-green, rolling and canary deploys compared, with a Docker Compose and Nginx walkthrough, database migration patterns and a load test proving no drops.

Traditional cron fails silently in Docker — no logs, no env vars, zombie processes. The HTTP endpoint pattern with auth, monitoring and secret injection.

Concurrent pushes cause deployment races that corrupt builds. Superseding, priority queues, and concurrency locks with CI/CD examples that actually prevent it.

Scan Docker images for CVEs with Trivy after every deploy and daily: severity triage, a SHA-pinned GitHub Actions setup, and alerts for critical findings.

Most platforms have no audit log until compliance demands one. Event schemas, immutable storage, retention policies and the query patterns SOC 2 needs.

Unsigned webhooks are an open door for attackers. Event types, HMAC signature verification, idempotency and Slack or Discord integration done securely.

Deploy a Turborepo or pnpm/npm workspaces monorepo with Temps: one project per app directory, shared managed Postgres, branch previews and per-app monitoring.

What self-hosting your deployment platform changes for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 and PCI DSS: secrets, audit trails, data residency, and what is still on you.

Define AI agents in .temps/agents/*.yaml that run on new errors, deploys, cron or webhooks and open pull requests via Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode.
