Which command to run in production?

Let's say I want to deploy on Netlify. I could either:

  1. use { prerender: true } and let Netlify statically serve dist/client/, or
  2. tell Netlify to run npm run preview (is this really meant for production?), or
  3. is there a third way?

Thanks :)

👍 Yes, you can do both: build & pre-render locally then upload dist/client/ to Netlify, or let Netlify build & pre-render your app on their build pipeline. You can also run prerender() programmatically. Some users, for example, use this to re-run pre-rendering upon some API call.

FYI we have a Q&A over at GitHub Discussion, see vikejs/vike#526.

With vite-plugin-ssr there is an npm run prod command that does ts-node ./server/index.ts, but with Vike there is neither a prod command nor a ./server/index.ts file, so I don't understand how to run the prod server. It doesn't feel like vite-plugin-ssr's GitHub Discussions are the right place to discuss as this seems to be a Vike-specific problem. I don't see GitHub discussions on this repo. What do you think?

(and from what I understand, vite preview is not meant for production)

See https://github.com/brillout/vite-plugin-ssr/tree/dev/examples/vike-react.

Basically: vike-react implements renderer/ on your behalf, so that you don't have to implement it yourself. Everything else stays the same, including deployement. For example: https://github.com/brillout/vite-plugin-ssr/tree/main/examples/cloudflare-workers-react-v1.
