How to Deploy Your Sweep AI-Built App
Step-by-step guide to deploying your Sweep AI app to production. Covers Python deployment, environment variables, and production configuration.
What Sweep AI generates
Sweep AI typically generates projects using Python, TypeScript, React, and FastAPI. Sweep is a GitHub-integrated AI agent that takes GitHub issues as input and generates pull requests implementing the requested change. Understanding the stack is important because it determines your deployment options and the specific configuration you'll need.
Where to deploy
Sweep integrates with your existing GitHub repository and your existing deployment pipeline handles the rest. It doesn't prescribe deployment targets
Step-by-step deployment
Sweep generates PRs against your repository. Your standard CI/CD pipeline runs on the PR. Review Sweep's PR as you would any contributor's PR — check the implementation matches the issue intent, tests are included, and the change is complete. Merge through your normal process
Environment variables
One of the most common deployment failures is missing or misconfigured environment variables. Sweep AI 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 Sweep AI 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.
