How to Deploy Your Poolside-Built App
Step-by-step guide to deploying your Poolside app to production. Covers Python deployment, environment variables, and production configuration.
What Poolside generates
Poolside typically generates projects using Python, TypeScript, Java, and C++. Poolside specializes in code completions and generation with deep understanding of complex, large codebases — particularly strong in enterprise Java and C++ environments. Understanding the stack is important because it determines your deployment options and the specific configuration you'll need.
Where to deploy
Poolside is a completion and generation tool integrated into your development environment. It doesn't generate deployable projects and doesn't prescribe deployment targets
Step-by-step deployment
Poolside assists with code writing within your existing project. Generated code goes through your normal build, test, and deployment process. For enterprise Java and C++ specifically, ensure generated code is compiled and linked correctly in the full project context, not just the file where it was generated
Environment variables
One of the most common deployment failures is missing or misconfigured environment variables. Poolside 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 Poolside 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.
