In most organizations, application developers deploy to a local test environment before deploying to a production environment. This allows you to thoroughly test in a safe environment before moving the application into production.
When generating an application in Iron Speed Designer, the application is automatically deployed on to the local server that is running Iron Speed Designer. This is almost always a development or test environment. When you are ready to deploy the tested application into a production environment, several additional steps are required, depending on the type of application being deployed. There are several ways to deploy and configure your application to a production environment:
MSI Installer. This is by far the easiest and best way to deploy your application. We highly recommend it! See Generating and Deploying MSI Installers for details.
Manual deployment. See Manually Deploying an Application to a Production Server for details.
Application hosting provider. See Deploying to Application Hosting Service Providers for details.
