Deployment
Step 1: Run PowerShell
Step 2: Install and import the EpiCloud module
Install-Module -Name EpiCloud -Scope CurrentUser -Force Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser Import-Module EpiCloud
Step 3: Set variables with your credentials
$projectId = "<your_project_id>" $clientKey = "<your_client_key>" $clientSecret = "<your_client_secret>" $targetEnvironment = "Test1" # Change to "Production" if needed
Step 4: Zip your Next.js application
Create a .zip package with the following naming pattern:
<name>.head.app.<version>.zip
Example:
optimizely-one.head.app.20250610.zip
Note
⚠️ Important: If the filename does not include .head.app., it will be treated as a NuGet package instead of a headless app.
Step 5: Connect to EpiCloud and get the SAS URL
Connect-EpiCloud -ProjectId $projectId -ClientKey $clientKey -ClientSecret $clientSecret $sasUrl = Get-EpiDeploymentPackageLocation
Step 6: Upload the deployment package
Add-EpiDeploymentPackage -SasUrl $sasUrl -Path .\optimizely-one.head.app.20250610.zip
Step 7: Start the deployment
Start-EpiDeployment ` -DeploymentPackage "optimizely-one.head.app.20250610.zip" ` -TargetEnvironment $targetEnvironment ` -DirectDeploy ` -Wait ` -Verbose
After the process completes, your application will be deployed to the selected Optimizely Frontend Hosting environment.
