# Deploy

Build and deploy the Lotus starter as a static Astro site.

Lotus renders static documentation pages, so the starter works on any host that
can serve an Astro static build.

## Vercel

The starter includes `vercel.json`, which tells Vercel to run `pnpm build` and
serve `dist`.

## Build Output

Run:

```sh
pnpm build
```

Astro writes the production site to `dist`.

## Common Hosts

- Netlify
- Vercel
- Cloudflare Pages
- GitHub Pages

Use `pnpm build` as the build command and `dist` as the output directory.
