Great idea! I'm looking forward to see that.

@git-asia I started working on it. I am just waiting for the transfer feature to be finished so I can show how to transfer your local data to Strapi Cloud via the 'yarn strapi transfer' feature.

Definitely needed. Having trouble deploying the Vercel side as we speak.

I'm having issues with deploying it to Vercel as well. Works fine locally, but it fails cause it can't find the Strapi API (since it's not been deployed yet) when I try to deploy it.

So I feel kind of stuck right now. Any help/pointers is greatly appreciated! ❤️

Right now I'm trying to deploy from the root folder, but should I rather have two Vercel projects (one for backend, one for frontend)?

First I would recommend deploying the Strapi application. Good hosting options are Render or Digital Ocean once it is deployed you can deploy to Vercel. I have made this video series that walk through the process. It should get you going.

Will be closing this issue since the Deployment Videos Are available now.
