The process of making a React application accessible on the internet through the Netlify platform involves several steps. This typically includes building the application for production, connecting a repository containing the application’s code to Netlify, and configuring deployment settings within the Netlify interface. Once configured, any push to the connected repository can trigger an automatic deployment, making the React application live on a Netlify-provided URL or a custom domain.
Publishing a React application through such services offers multiple advantages. These benefits include streamlined deployment workflows, automated continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and simplified management of application hosting. Historically, deploying web applications required significant server management and infrastructure configuration. The advent of platforms like Netlify has democratized this process, making it significantly easier and faster to bring applications to end-users.
