How to deploy node.js applications #1 - spin up a server

This 3-part series covers deployment of nodejs applications.
- You'll spin up and provision a server on digital ocean
- Setup automated deployment
- Then refine the deployment of your app to run as an upstart service

Prerequisite video!

What we're doing in these videos is called automated-deployment. It's a part of devOps. DevOps is a set of tools/practices that focus on having a streamlined, heavily automated and reliable strategy development, deployment & monitoring of web applications.

We're going to setup a way to deploy our node app with a single command.

Totally agree with Rackspace.  Had nothing but trouble from them.

Hi Will, I really love your tuts. I would like to point out though that Ubuntu is pronounced with the second "u" being like the "u" in "pull" or "puma." When the second u is pronounced the way you have in the past, it changes the meaning of the word from the name of the philosophy to "a man." "uBantu" sounds like "Those man" (sic) while ubuntu is akin to humanism (if directly translated from Xhosa/Zulu- not to be confused with the english word humanism which is a completely different world-view.) Thanks for the great tutorials!

I see the "Sudo" instruction. Since Windows doesn't do "Sudo", can all this be done through Windows machine?
