How to Deploy Your Manus-Built App
Step-by-step guide to deploying your Manus app to production. Covers Python deployment, environment variables, and production configuration.
What Manus generates
Manus typically generates projects using Python, TypeScript, React, and Node.js. Manus is an autonomous AI agent that can execute multi-step tasks across tools, browsers, and code — generating and running code as part of completing longer workflows. Understanding the stack is important because it determines your deployment options and the specific configuration you'll need.
Where to deploy
Manus operates autonomously and may generate code intended for various targets. Python scripts may be meant for servers or local execution. Web apps may target Vercel, Netlify, or a VPS. The deployment target depends on the task Manus was given
Step-by-step deployment
Review all code and files Manus generated before deploying anything it created. Verify that Manus's generated configuration values are correct for your environment. Check that any credentials Manus used or generated are rotated before production use. Deploy through your standard process — don't use any auto-deployment scripts Manus may have created without reviewing them
Environment variables
One of the most common deployment failures is missing or misconfigured environment variables. Manus apps often hardcode values during development that need to be externalized for production. Audit every file for hardcoded URLs, API keys, and configuration values. Create a .env.example file listing every required variable. Set these in your hosting platform's dashboard before deploying.
Post-deployment checklist
After deploying, verify: HTTPS is enforced on all routes, custom domain is configured and resolving, environment variables are correctly loaded, all features work in production (not just locally), error tracking is capturing exceptions, and performance is acceptable under real conditions.
Common deployment mistakes
The most frequent issues we see in Manus deployments: forgetting to set environment variables (causing startup crashes), not testing the production build locally before deploying, missing build dependencies, and using development configurations in production.
