deployment-automation

Automate deployments across Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, and Railway by detecting platform configuration files and executing the correct deployment workflow automatically. The script resolves CLI availability and runs platform-specific deploy commands for seamless cross-platform releases.

Yes, the deployment script auto-installs missing CLI tools when permitted. It resolves CLI availability first, installs the required platform CLI if missing, and then proceeds to execute the deployment command for your target hosting platform.

Platform detection relies on identifying specific configuration files in your project directory. The script checks for vercel.json, railway.toml, netlify.toml, or Procfile to determine the correct platform and trigger the matching deployment workflow automatically.

Yes, you can trigger preview deployments instead of production. The deployment automation supports both production and preview deployment modes, applying the correct flags when executing platform-specific deploy commands for your detected hosting environment.

The script detects custom deploy scripts defined in package.json and uses them to trigger npm-based deployments. This provides a simple fallback mechanism for common CI/CD workflows where platform-specific configuration files might be absent or overridden.

One-command deployment limitations include relying on the presence of platform configuration files like vercel.json or netlify.toml for detection, and requiring permission to auto-install missing CLIs, which may face restrictions in certain CI/CD environments.
