Deploying a service

Make sure you're still working in the same directory you created the service in.

Run serverless deploy -v to start the deployment process (make sure that the credentials for your provider are properly configured). This command also prints the progress during the deployment, as we've configured the verbose mode.

Serverless now deploys the whole service to the configured provider. It uses the default dev stage and us-east-1 region.

If you need to change the default stage and region, in your serverless.yml file, set the stage and region properties inside a provider object:

# serverless.yml

service: service-name
provider:
  name: aws
  stage: beta
  region: us-west-2

After you run serverless deploy -v, the progress of the deployment process displays in your terminal. A success message tells you when everything is deployed and ready to use!

Deploying to a different stage and region

If you want to deploy to different stages and regions later on, provide corresponding options to the deploy command.

For example, deploy to the production stage in the eu-central-1 region by running a deploy command that looks like this: serverless deploy --stage production --region eu-central-1.

Check out the deploy command docs for all the details and options.

Conclusion

You've just deployed your service! Let's invoke the services function in the next step.
