Deployment to production is one of the most important phases of application development and is the most crucial one as well. With the help of JHipster, we deployed our application to a cloud provider with ease. We also learned about Docker and the various other deployment options available. We also made use of the upgrade sub-generator to keep our application up to date with JHipster.

So far, we've seen how we can develop and deploy a monolithic e-commerce application using JHipster. We started with a monolith and, in the upcoming chapters, we will see how we can scale our application into a microservice architecture with the help of JHipster. In the next chapter, we will learn about different microservice technologies and tools. So, stay tuned!
