Optimize your codebase for deployment
Based on Triggr's design, deploying a Go application differs for API and full-stack development. We will be showing these two use cases below.
To deploy a full-stack Go application on Triggr, you need to create a file project.toml in the root directory of your project.
The value should specify the folder containing all the files without the .go extension for Triggr to include them during the build process. For this application, the files can be found in a folder named static

Open your web browser, log in to your Clouddley account
Choose your Git hosting service; either GitHub or Bitbucket. For this tutorial, we will be using GitHub.
Click on Continue with GitHub
To connect your GitHub user or organization account, click the Select username/organization dropdown and Add GitHub account.
Select your repository and the branch from the dropdown list or quickly search.
Click on NEXT
To configure your VM, insert your VM hostname or IP address, VM user, and the VM port for SSH access.
Use the Clouddley CLI (recommended) or connect via SSH to verify.
The Clouddley CLI is a command-line tool that allows you to interact with the Clouddley Platform from your terminal.
Open the command line of the remote VM you want to configure to Clouddley and install Clouddley CLI by running the command:
To install Triggr, run the command:
Using the CLI, you can deploy resources, manage configurations, and automate tasks efficiently.
Click on Verify. This verifies the connection
Click on NEXT
Insert the name of the application and its port.
Add the key-value pairs and Click on Save
Click on NEXT
Select the Alert type. For this tutorial, we will set up Email alerts.

Enter the Email address where you want to receive alerts. (You can add multiple email addresses)
Click on Save
Click on Deploy
Click on Go to Dashboard. Your app appears on the Triggr apps dashboard.
After the app deployment is complete, the app status changes from deploying to running
You can test the application functionalities.
You have successfully deployed a Go application on Triggr. You can manage it directly from the app dashboard by clicking the three dots (...) at the top-right corner to access Edit, Instant Rollback, Scale, Pause, and Delete options.
Additionally, you can switch to different tabs on the application dashboard to perform the following actions; view your deployment history, view or download logs, add a custom domain, and view the environment variables.
Navigate to and click on Deploy App
To add environment variables, click on Add Variable
Choose an ENV mode: either a single variable or import variables. Learn more .
To configure the notification settings of the application, click on Add Alert
Click on Website at the top right corner of the page, this opens the URL of the deployed application in your browser.
