+# Deployment Guide
+
+This repository is configured for seamless deployment on multiple platforms.
+
+## 🚀 Vercel Deployment (Recommended)
+
+### Quick Deploy
+
+1. **Install Vercel CLI** (optional, for local testing):
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g vercel
+   ```
+
+2. **Deploy to Vercel**:
+   ```bash
+   # Login to Vercel
+   vercel login
+
+   # Deploy
+   vercel
+   ```
+
+3. **Or use the Vercel Dashboard**:
+   - Go to [vercel.com](https://vercel.com)
+   - Import your GitHub repository
+   - Vercel will automatically detect the `vercel.json` configuration
+   - Click "Deploy"
+
+### What Gets Deployed
+
+- **Frontend**: `index.html` - Interactive dashboard
+- **API Endpoints**: 
+  - `GET /api/health` - Health check
+  - `GET /api/status` - Repository status
+  - `GET /api/lessons` - List all lessons
+  - `GET /api/run?script=<name>` - Run Python scripts
+
+### Local Testing
+
+```bash
+# Install Vercel CLI
+npm install -g vercel
+
+# Run locally
+vercel dev
+```
+
+Visit `http://localhost:3000` to test.
+
+---
+
+## 🐙 GitHub Actions Workflow
+
+The repository includes a CI/CD workflow that:
+
+1. **Tests** on Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
+2. **Runs linting** with flake8
+3. **Checks formatting** with black
+4. **Executes tests** with pytest
+5. **Verifies Vercel deployment** readiness
+
+### Workflow Triggers
+
+- Push to `main` or `master` branch
+- Pull requests
+- Manual trigger via GitHub Actions UI
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Alternative Deployment Options
+
+### Docker
+
+Create a `Dockerfile`:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM python:3.11-slim
+
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY . .
+
+RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
+
+EXPOSE 8000
+CMD ["python", "-m", "http.server", "8000"]
+```
+
+### Netlify
+
+1. Connect your GitHub repository
+2. Set build command: `echo "No build needed"`
+3. Set publish directory: `/`
+4. Add serverless functions in `api/` directory
+
+### Render
+
+1. Create new Web Service
+2. Connect GitHub repository
+3. Build Command: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+4. Start Command: `python -m http.server $PORT`
