Cursor has become a popular choice for developers who want fast coding, AI-assisted refactoring, and a clean development workflow. But, the real question usually comes after the coding is done. How do you put this website or app online without spending days setting up servers or CI pipelines? That is where Kuberns makes life easy. Kuberns lets you deploy the Cursor project by doing one simple thing: push your code to GitHub and connect the repo. Once that is done, Kuberns takes over the rest. It detects your framework, builds your project, and puts it live in a few minutes. No special configuration. No DevOps steps. No platform charges. This guide walks you through the full process in a very simple way so you can go from Cursor to a live production site without any friction. ## What You Need Before Deploying Your Project from Cursor? Before you start deploying your Cursor project on Kuberns, make sure you have a few basic things ready. Nothing complicated, just the essentials: 1\. Your Cursor project Your website or app should be running locally without errors. If it builds inside Cursor, it will build on Kuberns too. 2\. A GitHub repository Kuberns uses a Git based workflow. So your project must be pushed to GitHub. This is how Kuberns pulls your code for deployment. 3\. A Kuberns account You can [create one in a few seconds](https://dashboard.kuberns.com/) on [kuberns](https://kuberns.com/). You will connect your GitHub account during the setup. 4\. Any environment variables you plan to use If your project needs API keys or secrets, keep them ready. You will add them inside the Kuberns dashboard during deployment. Once these four pieces are in place, you are ready to start deploying. So, here is a quick look at the steps you will follow to deploy your Cursor website on Kuberns: 1. Push your Cursor project to GitHub 2. Create a new project on Kuberns and connect your GitHub repo 3. Add your environment variables if your app uses them 4. Click Deploy and wait a few minutes 5. Push new code to GitHub whenever you want automatic updates 6. Add a custom domain if you want your own URL That is all you need. Now, let us walk through each step in detail so you can follow it without any confusion. ## Step 1: Push Your Cursor Project to GitHub Cursor does not deploy projects directly, so the first step is getting your code into a GitHub repository. This is the only way Kuberns can pull your project and build it. If you already use GitHub inside Cursor, this part will feel natural. If not, here is the simplest way to do it. ### Inside Cursor 1. Open your project 2. Commit your changes 3. Connect your project to a GitHub repo 4. Push the latest code Cursor usually guides you through this with simple integration to connect GitHub. ![connect cursor to github](https://kuberns-blogs-media.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/connect-cursor-to-github.png) ## Step 2: Create a New Project on Kuberns Now that your Cursor project is sitting safely on GitHub, it is time to connect it to Kuberns. This is where deployment becomes effortless because Kuberns handles almost everything for you. ![Create a New Project on Kuberns](https://kuberns-blogs-media.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/signup-with-kuberns.png) ### How to create your project 1. Log in to kuberns.com 2. Click Create Project 3. Select Connect GitHub 4. Authorise access so Kuberns can read your repositories 5. Pick the repository that contains your Cursor project Once you select the repo, Kuberns automatically scans your code. ![Connect your github to kuberns](https://kuberns-blogs-media.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/deploy-with-ai.png) ### Kuberns detects your setup automatically Most Cursor projects are built with frameworks like Next.js, Vite, React, Remix or simple Node backends. Kuberns identifies the framework and prepares the correct: * Install command * Build command * Output directory * Start command You do not need to write any configuration files or Docker instructions. Kuberns handles all of that behind the scenes. > At this point, your project is now connected. Your repo is linked. Kuberns understands your framework. You are already halfway to a full production deployment. ## Step 3: Configure Environment Variables Right after you connect GitHub and create the project, Kuberns shows the environment variables panel on the same screen. 1. After creating the project, stay on the setup screen 2. Find the Environment Variables section right there 3. Add key value pairs, or upload your .env file 4. Save the values 5. Click Deploy. That's it! Common values to add * API\_KEY=xxxxxxxx * DATABASE\_URL=postgres\://... * NEXT\_PUBLIC\_BASE\_URL=[https://yourdomain.com](https://yourdomain.com) Why this matters > Adding env variables during the initial setup saves time, prevents build errors, and means your first deploy already has the secrets it needs. ## Step 4: Deploy Your Cursor Website This is the moment where everything comes together. Once your repo is connected, environment variables are set, and build settings look good, you can [deploy your Cursor project with a single click](https://dashboard.kuberns.com/login?to=/). ### How to deploy 1. Click the [Deploy](https://dashboard.kuberns.com/login?to=/) button inside your Kuberns project 2. Kuberns pulls your code from GitHub 3. It installs dependencies 4. It builds your project 5. It creates a production-ready container 6. Your website goes live with a unique URL The entire process usually takes a couple of minutes. ### Watching your build While Kuberns is deploying your app, you can see the Logs section to check what is happening in real time. This is helpful if: * Your build is missing a dependency * A script name is wrong * An environment variable is not set * A package fails to compile Logs make it easy to fix issues quickly and redeploy. ### Once the deployment finishes You will see: * A green success status * A live preview URL * Your app is running in production Your Cursor website is now officially deployed on Kuberns and ready to share. ![Kuberns All-in-one AI Dashboard](https://kuberns-blogs-media.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/all-in-one-dashboard.png) ## Step 6: Automatic Updates with Every GitHub Push One of the nicest parts about deploying a Cursor project on Kuberns is that you never have to redeploy manually after the first time. Kuberns listens to your GitHub repo, so every time you push new code, it automatically rebuilds and updates your live website. ### How it works 1. You make changes in Cursor 2. You commit and push those changes to GitHub 3. Kuberns detects the new commit 4. It triggers a fresh build 5. Your site updates automatically No extra buttons. No separate CI tool. No manual steps. #### Why is this helpful? * Your production environment always matches your latest code * You avoid dealing with separate deployment pipelines * Fixes and updates reach users instantly * It keeps your development workflow very simple ## Step 7: Add a Custom Domain Once your Cursor website is live on Kuberns, you can connect your own domain so users see a clean and professional URL. Kuberns makes this simple and handles SSL certificates automatically. ### How to add your custom domain 1. Go to your project on Kuberns 2. Open the Environment tab 3. Click Add Custom Domain 4. Enter the domain you want to use 5. Kuberns will show you the required DNS records 6. Copy these records into your domain provider (for example, GoDaddy, Namecheap or Cloudflare) ![Add custom domain](https://kuberns-blogs-media.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/add-custom-domain.png) ## Step 8: Monitor and Scale Your App After your Cursor website is live, Kuberns gives you simple tools to keep track of how your app is performing. You can see usage, logs and resource consumption in real time. This helps you understand what is happening inside your app without setting up external monitoring tools. ### What you can monitor * CPU usage * Memory usage * App logs * Deployment history * Build events These insights help you catch issues early, especially if your site starts receiving more traffic. ### Scaling made easy You do not need to configure Kubernetes clusters or write YAML files. Kuberns handles scaling behind the scenes. If your app needs more resources, Kuberns adjusts automatically. If traffic reduces, it scales down to save cost. ### Cost efficiency All workloads on Kuberns run on optimised AWS infrastructure. This gives you up to 40% savings without any tuning from your side. You get reliable cloud performance without paying traditional platform fees. #### Why this matters Most developers only think about deployment, but stability and performance matter just as much. Kuberns gives you both without asking you to manage servers, autoscaling rules or infrastructure setup. Your Cursor website stays fast, reliable and affordable as it grows. ## Conclusion Deploying a Cursor website on Kuberns is one of the simplest ways to get your project online. You push your code to GitHub, connect the repo, add your env variables and click Deploy. That is it. No DevOps setup. No server management. No complicated CI pipeline. Your app builds fast, scales automatically and stays affordable because it runs on optimised AWS infrastructure. For developers who want an easy and reliable workflow from Cursor to production, Kuberns is the smoothest path.
