Discuss how to deploy the Kanban app into production

Related to chapter 11. Need to show whole pipeline and how things go together.

This would be fantastic. Most examples/talks focus on the dev side of things, but actually seeing how a QA, Stage and production setup would work with NodeJS, ReactJS and so forth would be very helpful. Myself being a Java/JEE developer, I am familiar with setting up JEE servers for production, scalability, and deploying to them (rolling restart, auto-restart, etc). I am unfamiliar with how you take a nodejs/reactjs application "folder" with build/ lib/ app/ and so forth, bundle it up for deployment, then deploy it.. and what happens when you have multiple servers behind a load balancer.. how to manage state (I assume being rest API driven, there is no state to worry about..thus my issue #31), how to upgrade a server that is already being used (rolling restart or does it happen so fast users wouldn't notice). Things like that would be great to understand.

Building Kanban is likely the best I can do within the current scope. The chapter shows you how to get a respectable production level bundle out of Webpack. It also touches the concept of isomorphism.

I feel discussing load balancers and such would go way out of scope. I also lack the expertise so that doesn't improve things either. :)

It's likely there are other, more deployment specific books, that deal with the topic way better than I ever could.
