# Vercel + Supabase

> The fastest path to launch a Kuest site with hosted app runtime and managed database.

<Info>
  This is the recommended path for most operators. It matches the same Vercel and Supabase stack used by the guided `/launch` flow.
</Info>

## Before you start

* Review [Environment Variables](/configuration/environment-variables).
* If you are using the guided flow, pre-read [Launch Overview](/launch/overview).

## Manual deploy flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Prepare the repository">
    Add the codebase to your GitHub account so Vercel can import it. If you are using `/launch`, that GitHub step is already covered in [Launch Overview](/launch/overview).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the shared environment variables">
    Start from `.env.example` and fill the base values documented in [Environment Variables](/configuration/environment-variables).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the Vercel project">
    In Vercel, create a new project from your GitHub repository, import the environment variables, and deploy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach Supabase">
    In the Vercel project dashboard, open **Storage**, create a Supabase integration with default settings, and connect it to the project.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Redeploy and finish setup">
    Trigger a redeploy, then open [General](/admin/general) to set company name, branding, fee wallet, and support links.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you still need after deploy

* Confirm the admin wallet can sign in.
* Review [Theme](/admin/theme), [Locales](/admin/locales), and [Categories](/admin/categories).

<Check>
  If you want the same experience but without doing the setup manually, use the guided `/launch` flow and keep [Launch Overview](/launch/overview) open while filling it.
