Features

Start in VS Code or Positron and end with content on Posit Connect

Posit Publisher extends VS Code and Positron so you can stay in your development environment to configure and deploy your content. Select the file you want to deploy, and Posit Publisher will get you started with a configuration.

Once you are ready, deploy your content to Posit Connect.

Code-first deployment

Configure your content with ease.

Configuration files allow setting up how you want your content to look and run on Connect — from choosing a title and description to Runtime process settings.

Keep your content stable with language and tool versions set in your configurations — all automatically detected based on your local environment.

Keep your content stable with language and tool versions set in your configurations — all automatically detected based on your local environment. And you also have the control to pin them to the exact version that works for you.

Everything is saved in the .posit/ directory for easy reproducibility and collaboration.

Track all content for a project

If your project requires multiple pieces of content, Posit Publisher can manage them all inside VS Code or Positron. For example, deploy an API and an application that utilizes it.

Associate already deployed content

Posit Publisher isn't only for deploying something new. To start managing your previously-deployed content in VS Code or Positron, associate your deployment using just the content's URL.

See the Updating Previously Deployed Content documentation for more information.

Multiple deployments and configurations

Does your content need to be deployed to multiple destinations with different settings? For example, to a staging environment and production.

Posit Publisher supports managing multiple deployments and configurations, simplifying the process of deploying to different environments.

Deployment logs

Logs are organized to easily identify what went wrong.
