ChatJS can be deployed to any platform that supports Next.js.

## Getting Started

Follow the [Quickstart](/quickstart) to scaffold your project and get it running locally. Then deploy to your platform of choice.

## Environment Variables

See the [Quickstart](/quickstart#2-configure-environment-variables) for required environment variables.

## Database Migrations

For production deployments, use tracked migrations instead of `db:push`:

```bash
bun run db:migrate
```

## Platform Guides

> Detailed deployment guides for specific platforms coming soon.

For the simplest setup, we recommend deploying to [Vercel](/deployment/vercel). For containerized deployments, see [Docker](/deployment/docker).
