How to build, deploy and run complied code?

Hi Ben,

Should we build/transpile the code to es5 and run it on the server for example in docker container? or current ts-node src/index.ts is enough to run it?

You'll want to transpile it to javascript and then run it with node. A docker container would work.

@Husamui - it might help to check out his airbnb clone series on youtube using this same server stack. He shows you how to build and deploy. Just today I rewatched those couple vids and was able to successfully deploy to heroku via a slightly different approach: https://github.com/jakelowen/typescript-graphql-boilerplate-server
