 # Deploy your first app
 
-This page shows how to deploy a Serverpod server to Serverpod Cloud using the `scloud` CLI. After completing these steps, your server will be running in a managed production environment.
+Get your Serverpod app live on Cloud in a few minutes.
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Before you start
 
-Before deploying, make sure you have:
+You need:
 
-- Completed the **Installation** steps (`scloud` installed and authenticated).
-- A **Serverpod project** on your machine.
-- Have created a new project in the Serverpod Cloud console.
+- `scloud`, Serverpod Cloud's command-line tool, installed and signed in. See [Install scloud](/cloud/getting-started/installation).
+- A Serverpod project on your machine. See the Serverpod [Quickstart](https://docs.serverpod.dev/get-started/quickstart) to create one.
 
-If you haven't yet created a Serverpod project, you can read more about how to get started on it in our Serverpod [framework documentation](https://docs.serverpod.dev/).
+## Launch your project
 
-## Navigate to your project
-
-Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of your Serverpod project:
+From your project's root directory:
 
 ```bash
-cd your_serverpod_project
+scloud launch
 ```
 
-## Launch the project on Serverpod Cloud
+It creates a Cloud project and ships its first version. The CLI walks you through eight prompts; press Enter at each one to accept the default (most default to yes). The four that need real decisions:
+
+- **Project ID.** scloud suggests a default from your pubspec name (for example, `my-app`). Press Enter to accept, or type a different ID. The project ID becomes part of your default URL (`<project-id>.serverpod.space`).
+- **Plan.** Type `starter` or `growth` (see [Cloud plans](https://serverpod.dev/cloud) for details). Pick `starter` for a first deploy. Starter includes a 1-month free trial; no credit card required.
+- **Database.** Press Enter for yes if you want Cloud to provision and manage a Postgres database for your server. Type `n` if your app doesn't need a database, or if you plan to connect to your own.
+- **Pre-deploy hooks.** Hooks run scripts before each deploy. scloud may offer to add `serverpod generate` and a Flutter build hook (if your project defines one). Accept the ones that match your project. See [Deployment hooks](/cloud/reference/deployment/deployment-hooks) for details.
+
+After the final confirmation, scloud creates the Cloud project, writes a `scloud.yaml` linking subsequent commands to it, uploads your code, and starts the deploy.
+
+## Watch the deployment
+
+Next, scloud prints the URLs your project will be reachable at:
+
+```text
+When the server has started, you can access it at:
+   Web:      https://my-app.serverpod.space/
+   API:      https://my-app.api.serverpod.space/
+   Insights: https://my-app.insights.serverpod.space/
+```
 
-Run the interactive launch command:
+The server isn't live yet. Watch the deployment finish:
 
 ```bash
-scloud launch
+scloud deployment show
 ```
 
-This command guides you through the initial setup and deployment. It will:
+The command tracks the deployment through four stages, updating each line as it progresses:
 
-- Create a new Serverpod Cloud project (if you haven't created one in the console).
-- Configure the deployment environment.
-- Build and deploy your server.
+```text
+Tracking my-app deployment 4583d0a1-3d0a-400e-a9a5-9880da6abc94
+(Press Ctrl+C to exit)
 
-During the process, the CLI will ask you to confirm configuration options for your project.
+Upload successful.
+Cloud build successful.
+Infra deploy successful.
+Service rollout successful. 🚀
+```
 
-## Verify the deployment
+When you see the rocket on **Service rollout**, your app is live.
 
-It will take a few minutes for your project to be uploaded, built, and deployed. Check the status of your last deployment with:
+## Open your app
 
-```bash
-scloud deployment show
+In your browser, open the Web URL scloud printed:
+
+```text
+https://my-app.serverpod.space/
 ```
 
-The command prints information about your deployment and its status. Once the deployment completes successfully, your Serverpod server will be running on Serverpod Cloud.
+The server's landing page loads. If you added the Flutter build hook, navigate to `/app` to see your Flutter web app.
+
+## What you've done
+
+You've created a Cloud project and shipped its first version. From here:

+- Every change you make ships with `scloud deploy`. See [Deployments](/cloud/concepts/deployments) for the full deploy lifecycle.
