Quick Deploy (Cmd+Shift+D)

Walks you through the full deployment setup:
- Project name - Choose or confirm your project name
- Environment variables - Add manually, import from
.env file, or skip
- Upload & build - Packs files, uploads, and monitors the build
- Go live - Waits for the service to be healthy and gives you the URL
Configuration
Create an aedify.json in your project root for custom settings:
{
"name": "my-project",
