Add support for 1-click deploy to Cloudflare (or any platform)

[niculistana]

Hi everyone,

Just jotting-down some notes here as I think it could be beneficial for usability of this design system.

Since contributions have slowed down I think it'd be a good to show others what we could build next.

We could add a feature to click a button which would call an API which would provision both:

• an instance for building the app and push assets to a hosting provider to prepare it for static serving
• and instances for serving live-traffic

Then assuming all components are done and published to NPM, within the user-data, add automation to enable pulling from the registry:

npx shadcn add @/

Then do this for all other components that make up a bettergov-like app.

Additional build steps

• Continue to build the app as it's meant to be built using parametrized configuration per environment.
• Then depending on the need, serve app as a static app served via S3 (or equivalent)
• Or serve the app within the instance itself

Help Wanted

• Using terraform we can provision/destroy instances quickly given cloud creds
• We could manage the creds, or provide a BYOC (bring your own creds option)
• Right now majority of the builds for BetterGov is via CloudFlare so I believe the docs here is a good place to start
