Deployment and next steps

Deploying your Studio is as simple as running the deploy command.

npm run deploy

This runs sanity deploy inside your project. The first time you run this you'll be prompted for a hostname. This needs to be unique across all Sanity Studio hosting so you'll need to use your imagination here.

Once successfully deployed, you'll be able to open the Studio at your new address.

Take note that this remotely deployed Studio shows the same data from the Content Lake as the Studio in local development! Remember, your content is always cloud-hosted but your Studio is a versioned window into the Content Lake.

This can be very useful, but also potentially dangerous. Consider using a different dataset in development to the one you use in production.

At present you can only have one Studio deployment on this hosting for a project. For more complex builds you may wish to have additional deployments for testing or staging environments.

Sanity Studio can be deployed to any hosting service that can run a single page application. So for example it can be easily deployed from Vercel or Netlify.

Since these platforms typically deploy from git repositories, you could make one for your Studio and connect to it on your host.

Note that your editors can expect the same experience whether your Studio is hosted with Sanity or externally. It connects to the same APIs.

Before you set off creating your next Sanity project, it's good to be mindful of some patterns to avoid. Here's what we explicitly didn't do in the previous lessons.

Mark each task complete as you make a promise to your future self to do your best job of:
