Publishing Your Project

Updated Sep 27, 2026Guides

Deploy your project to *.airbuild.space.

One-Click Publishing

Click Publish in the toolbar to deploy your project. Your site goes live at yourname.airbuild.space.

What Gets Published

Website projects:

  • Static files are deployed to a global CDN
  • Automatic HTTPS
  • Fast loading worldwide

Web App projects:

  • Frontend deployed to CDN
  • Backend deployed as a managed service
  • API available at yourname.airbuild.space/api/
  • Optional PostgreSQL database

Custom Subdomain

Choose your subdomain during the first publish. It stays the same for all future updates.

Updating Your Site

After making changes, click Publish again. Only changed files are updated — the process takes just a few seconds.

Where the Backend Runs

A project with a backend picks where that backend lives: Airbuild Cloud (shared, serverless, the default) or Airbuild Private (dedicated compute in a size from XS to 2XL). A website without a backend needs neither — it is served straight from the CDN. You can switch later; expect a short interruption while the app is re-provisioned.

What Happens Before It Goes Live

A publish is not just an upload. Airbuild checks a frozen snapshot of exactly the code that ships — security, dependencies, code quality, and every API endpoint reachable without authentication. High-severity findings block the publish, and the findings land in the Problems panel where Fix with AI can take the whole list in one pass.

The progress bar runs 0 to 100 % across those steps and never jumps backwards. See Quality Assurance.

Your Own Domain

The *.airbuild.space subdomain works from the first publish. To put the site on your own domain, see Custom Domains.

Taking a Site Offline

Unpublish deletes the published files and clears the CDN cache, so the subdomain stops serving. The project itself is untouched — sources, database and history stay, and you can publish again later.

SEO

The AI generates proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and semantic HTML automatically. You can ask the AI to optimize:

  • "Add SEO meta tags for the homepage"
  • "Optimize the page titles and descriptions"

Troubleshooting

If your published site shows a blank page:

  • Check the browser console for errors
  • Ask the AI: "My published site shows a blank page, can you check?"
  • Re-publish after fixes
