+# Deployment
+
+After implementing your business logic, we recommend deploying your website to the cloud.
+Deploying your website to the cloud allows people to view your website by visiting a URL.
+
+## Azure App Service
+
+One way to deploy is using Azure App Service. This service will allow you to deploy and scale web, mobile and API apps.
+
+## Getting Started with Deployment
+
+### VS Code Extension Method (Recommended)
+
+The Azure App Service extension provides an easy way to manage and deploy your web application. To learn how to deploy using their VS Code extension, see [Azure App Service Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azureappservice)
+
+### Local Git Deployment Method
+
+This method will require you to have [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) installed on your computer.
+
+#### Creating the App Service
+
+- Go to the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) and click on the _App Services_ button.
+
+  ![Portal image the button is on the left](./resources/azure-appservice-portal.png)
+
+- Click on the _Add_ button in the new window that appears.
+
+  ![Portal image the add button is on the top left](./resources/azure-appservice-add.png)
+
+- Click the _web app_ button.
+
+  ![Portal image click webapp](./resources/azure-appservice-click-webapp.png)
+
+- You will be presented with another screen on which you should click _create_.
+
+  ![Portal image click create](./resources/azure-appservice-click-create.png)
+
+- Another screen will appear in which you are required to do the following actions:
+
+1. Enter the name of the website in the _app name_ field.
+2. Select a subscription.
+3. Create a resource group or use an existing one.
+4. Select the publish _code_ option.
+5. If no _app service_ exists create an _app service_ on this screen (costs money but required if one doesn't already exist).
+   1. Click on the _App service_ button and you will be to create a new app service.
+   2. If creating an _app service_ name it and select a location, and finally select the tier you want.

+
+6. Click create resource.
+
+![Portal image create resource create button](./resources/azure-appservice-createadd.png)
+
+- After clicking create you will get a notification. Click the bell icon on the top right to view notifications, then click the _go to resource_ button.
+
+![Portal image go to resource](./resources/azure-appservice-notification.png)
+
+You now have an app service resource in the cloud, where you can upload your web application.
+
+#### Deploying the website to the App Service
+
+To be able to deploy your web application, you will need to do the following set of commands in either _terminal_ or _git bash_. **Note: you must be in the root of your generated project's directory**.
+
+![Root directory of generated project](./resources/azure-appservice-rootdirectory.png)
+
+`npm install && npm build` or `yarn install && yarn build`
+
+You should then have a build folder in the root directory. Run the following command to move the production build of your client side into the server folder. Doing so will remove any prior builds.
+
+`rm -rf server/build && mv build/ server/`
+
+You will then want to `git init` to make the root directory a local git repository.
+
+Finally, run the following command to create a .deployment file with the proper parameters.
+
+```
+echo "[config]
+project=server" > .deployment
+```
+
+Follow the documentation created by the Azure team for [deploying with a local git repository](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-local-git#open-azure-cloud-shell)
+
+Your newly deployed web app can be found at `<app name>.azurewebsites.net`
