Out of the box, this starter kit is deployable by serving the ./dist folder generated by yarn build. This project does not concern itself with the details of server-side rendering or API structure, since that demands a more opinionated structure that makes it difficult to extend the starter kit. The simplest deployment strategy is a static deployment.
Serve the application with a web server such as nginx by pointing it at your ./dist folder. Make sure to direct incoming route requests to the root ./dist/index.html file so that the client application will be loaded; react-router will take care of the rest. If you are unsure of how to do this, you might find this documentation helpful. The Express server that comes with the starter kit is able to be extended to serve as an API and more, but is not required for a static deployment.
