# Deploy an EdgeSpark project

> Deploy your EdgeSpark project with edgespark deploy, validate with dry runs, and understand the current single-environment model.

Today, new EdgeSpark projects start with one default production environment. That means `edgespark deploy` updates the live project environment directly.

## Deploy

```bash theme={null}
edgespark deploy
```

This builds your code and deploys it to your current project URL:

```text theme={null}
✓ Schema synced
✓ Built in 1.4s
✓ Deployed

https://my-app.edgespark.app
```

## Dry run

Validate your build without deploying:

```bash theme={null}
edgespark deploy --dry-run
```

A dry run builds your code and reports the routes found, but does not upload or deploy anything. Use this before live deploys or in CI to catch type errors and route mistakes early.

## What a deploy does

When you run `edgespark deploy`:

1. **Schema sync** — refreshes generated files in `server/src/__generated__/`
2. **Type check** — verifies your code has no TypeScript errors
3. **Build** — compiles your application to a single bundle
4. **Route analysis** — scans and reports your routes grouped by auth convention
5. **Deploy** — uploads your bundle and makes it live on the current default environment

See [the deploy pipeline](/concepts/deploy-pipeline) for a detailed walkthrough.

## Current public environment model

Right now, EdgeSpark does not publicly expose a separate staging environment for newly created projects. So:

* there is no public staging URL yet
* there is no public `deploy promote` workflow to document yet
* you should treat `edgespark deploy` as a deploy to the current live project environment

<Note>
  Staging support is coming soon. When it lands, the docs will add the isolated staging workflow and promotion model.
