How to Deploy Your Same.dev-Built App
Step-by-step guide to deploying your Same.dev app to production. Covers React and Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Same.dev clones existing websites by analyzing their visual design and generating equivalent React components deployment, environment variables, and production configuration.
What Same.dev generates
Same.dev typically generates projects using React and Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Same.dev clones existing websites by analyzing their visual design and generating equivalent React components, typically without the original backend. Understanding the stack is important because it determines your deployment options and the specific configuration you'll need.
Where to deploy
Same.dev-generated projects are Next.js or Vite React projects deployable to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages. Since the clone is frontend-only, a new backend must be built or connected
Step-by-step deployment
Export the cloned project from Same.dev. Audit the codebase for any content copied from the original site (text, images, brand assets) that you may not have rights to use. Replace static content with your own. Identify all backend functionality the original site had (auth, database, APIs) and build or connect equivalents. Deploy the frontend to Vercel with your own domain
Environment variables
One of the most common deployment failures is missing or misconfigured environment variables. Same.dev 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 Same.dev 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.
