Production Deployment

This course teaches all the major concepts you need to build a production ready SaaS application by step by step _building a fully functional application_. The course is divided into two main parts - the _frontend_, which uses Svelte to build an interactive, rich user interface and the _backend_, which uses Express and PostgreSQL to build a server that handles data management.

Svelte is an exciting new frontend UI framework that offers a very developer friendly workflow and easy to learn syntax. Express and PostgreSQL are tried-and-true technologies that provide a rock solid backend.

Across about 7 hours of video instruction with full source code, this course covers everything from setting up your development environment to securing your application with a multi-tenant architecture and ultimately deploying the application to production.

Svelte is a frontend framework that focuses on reactivity and user interaction, but has no opinions about the look and feel of an application. We could create the look and feel of our app completely from scratch, but it usually makes sense to pick a frontend component library to accelerate the development process.

Frontend component libraries provide responsive layout grids and various UI components such as cards and modals. For this course, we are going to use 

 which is a lightweight CSS-only framework.

Responsive layout grids are designed to work in both mobile and desktop environments with the HTML elements flowing and stacking properly based on screen resolution.

We looked at a couple of nascent Svelte community projects for both Bootstrap and Material Design, but ultimately decided that a lightweight CSS-only option would be the best way to keep forward momentum and build the application faster.

The easiest way to add Bulma to a web project is to use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) link to the Bulma CSS file. CDNs provide public links to static files and are performance-optimized for caching and reducing geographic latency.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.0/css/bulma.css

At this point, index.html should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />

    <title>Easily Publish Your School Lunch Menu</title>

    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png" />
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.0/css/bulma.css"
    />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/build/bundle.css" />

    <script defer src="/build/bundle.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body></body>
</html>

 alone. These are references to the main JavaScript and CSS bundles that are built from the contents of our Svelte files. Bulma will give us a great base for styling, but later on, we'll see how to add more CSS rules directly in Svelte files.

### Front End Component Libraries

Svelte is a frontend framework that focuses on reactivity and user interaction, but has no opinions about the look and feel of an application. We could create the look and feel of our app completely from scratch, but it usually makes sense to pick a frontend component library to accelerate the development process.

Frontend component libraries provide responsive layout grids and various UI components such as cards and modals. For this course, we are going to use [Bulma](https://bulma.io/) which is a lightweight CSS-only framework.

> Responsive layout grids are designed to work in both mobile and desktop environments with the HTML elements flowing and stacking properly based on screen resolution.

We looked at a couple of nascent Svelte community projects for both Bootstrap and Material Design, but ultimately decided that a lightweight CSS-only option would be the best way to keep forward momentum and build the application faster.

### Adding Bulma to Index.html

The easiest way to add Bulma to a web project is to use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) link to the Bulma CSS file. CDNs provide public links to static files and are performance-optimized for caching and reducing geographic latency.

Open the file `/public/index.html` and add a stylesheet reference to `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.0/css/bulma.css`. The full reference is:



```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.0/css/bulma.css"/>
```

While you are there, you can change the `<title>` element to something more fitting like _Easily Publish Your School Lunch Menus_.

At this point, index.html should look like this:

```html { actualFilename=../../../code/module_03/lesson_01/school-lunch/frontend/public/index.html endChar=515 endLine=21 startChar=0 startLine=1 statedFilename=index.html url=https&#x3A;//gitlab.com/fullstackio/books/fullstack-svelte-course/module_03/lesson_03.01/.../../code/module_03/lesson_01/school-lunch/frontend/public/index.html }
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />

    <title>Easily Publish Your School Lunch Menu</title>

    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png" />
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bulma@0.9.0/css/bulma.css"
    />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/build/bundle.css" />
