preview deployment

Share a device-like preview of your app before going live.

Preview deployments generate a shareable link that loads your app inside a device-like simulator. Choose the Web platform, pick the Preview plan, and configure what launches (build, program/router, globals). Connect a datacenter, choose a performance tier, and finalize with optional add-ons like backups and offline mode. A clear cost summary and one-click creation streamline the flow.
