Projects

A project is a collection of deployments linked to a Git repository. Each project has its own settings, environment variables, and domain configuration.

Tip

You can create projects from the CLI with deploy link or from the dashboard.

Deployments

Every time you push to your connected Git branch, DeployFast automatically creates a new deployment. Each deployment is immutable and gets a unique URL.

Type Trigger URL Pattern
Production Push to main project.deployfast.dev
Preview Pull request project-abc123.deployfast.dev

Environment Variables

Environment variables let you configure your app differently for development, preview, and production environments. 

$ deploy env add DATABASE_URL "postgres://..."
→ Added to production

$ deploy env ls
NAME           VALUE         ENVIRONMENT
DATABASE_URL   ••••••••••    production
API_KEY        ••••••••••    all

Security Note

Environment variables are encrypted at rest and never exposed in build logs.
