{: #deploy_apps}
You can deploy your Node.js apps with a toolchain or by using the command line interface. A toolchain is a set of tool integrations. The command line interface is a simple way to deploy your apps and service instances.
For more information, see Deploying apps.
{: #serverless}
To facilitate serverless development, you can use the IBM Functions as a Service (FaaS) offering, {{site.data.keyword.openwhisk}}. {{site.data.keyword.openwhisk_short}} enables application logic to be run in response to events or direct invocations from web or mobile apps over HTTP without provisioning or managing servers.
{{site.data.keyword.openwhisk_short}} performs system administration like auto-scaling, availability management, and maintenance, allowing developers to remain focused on writing application logic.
For more information, see Developing serverless apps.
{: #backend_gensdk}
The {{site.data.keyword.IBM_notm}} SDK Generator plug-in easily integrates back-end services to your app with a generated SDK. When a change to a REST API occurs, you can regenerate the SDK and replace the old one for a seamless SDK upgrade. You can also integrate the CLI into a DevOps pipeline and ensure that the SDK is always consistent with the API spec each time the app is built.
For more information, see Integrating back-end services with a generated SDK.
{: #deploy_kube}
You can learn how to use {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} Kubernetes Service to deploy a containerized Node.js app that uses Watson Tone Analyzer. In provided scenario, a fictional PR firm uses the {{site.data.keyword.cloud_notm}} service to analyze their press releases and receive feedback on the tone of their messages. For more information, see the tutorial Deploying apps into clusters.
{: #virtual_deploy}
A virtual service delivers a higher degree of transparency, predictability, and automation for all workload types. Terraform is used for building, changing, and versioning your infrastructure safely and efficiently.
For more information, see Deploying to a Virtual Server.
