Node.js: Creating the staging environment

This documentation is part of the Deploy with GitHub Actions guide. You can view the complete guide here: Learn how to deploy your Node.js code using GitHub Actions.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use Node.js cloud solution designed to help you move faster:

  • Deploy to production in seconds with a simple git push. No additional tools or manual configuration needed.
  • Use your own domain and take advantage of automatic HTTPS certificate setup, keeping your application secure with no extra steps.
  • Enjoy automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable, transparent pricing so you can focus on building features while Stackhero manages the infrastructure.
  • Benefit from dedicated, private infrastructure for optimal performance and enhanced security.

Save time and simplify your operations: you can have your application running on Stackhero's Node.js cloud hosting in just a few minutes.

Setting up the staging environment is almost identical to production. Simply repeat the previous steps, replacing production with staging where necessary.

Start by creating a staging branch:

git checkout -b staging

Then push your staging branch to GitHub:

git push --set-upstream origin staging

GitHub Actions will automatically deploy your staging branch to its dedicated Node.js service.
