Built with Databutton? Deploy it to GitHub Pages.
Step-by-step deployment help for Databutton-built apps on GitHub Pages. We fix deployment issues, configure GitHub Pages correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Databutton issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Databutton's code generation that affect GitHub Pages deployments.
SQL injection in AI-generated query strings
Databutton's generated FastAPI endpoints sometimes build SQL queries using f-strings or string concatenation with user-supplied parameters, bypassing parameterized query protections entirely.
No authentication on data API endpoints
Data pipeline endpoints are frequently generated without authentication middleware, exposing raw database access and sensitive business metrics to anyone who discovers the API URL.
Unhandled data type mismatches crashing pipelines
Generated data processing code assumes clean input schemas. When upstream data contains nulls, type changes, or unexpected formats, pipelines throw unhandled exceptions and fail silently.
Missing pagination on large dataset queries
Data queries load entire tables into memory without limit or offset clauses. With more than a few thousand rows, responses time out and memory usage spikes.
GitHub Pages deployment issues we check for
Common GitHub Pages problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
Client-side routing returns 404 on refresh
React Router and other SPA routers break on page refresh because GitHub Pages doesn't support URL rewrites. Only the root index.html is served for the base path.
API routes have no server to run on
AI-generated Next.js or Express backends can't run on GitHub Pages. There's no server-side execution — only static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are served.
Base path not configured for project sites
Project sites deploy to username.github.io/repo-name, but AI tools build with root (/) as the base path, breaking all asset and route references.
Custom domain DNS propagation issues
CNAME file missing from the build output or DNS records misconfigured, causing the custom domain to point nowhere or show GitHub's 404 page.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a Databutton-built app to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We regularly deploy Databutton-generated projects to GitHub Pages. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on GitHub Pages.
What GitHub Pages issues do Databutton projects typically have?
Databutton projects commonly have sql injection in ai-generated query strings and no authentication on data api endpoints. When deploying to GitHub Pages, these combine with platform-specific issues like client-side routing returns 404 on refresh and api routes have no server to run on.
How do I get my Databutton project live on GitHub Pages?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Databutton-built projects targeting GitHub Pages, the typical path is: fix Databutton-specific code issues, configure GitHub Pages settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Databutton app to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Databutton codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring GitHub Pages correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
