# or

Deploy it to the cloud with ZEIT Now (Documentation).

Configuration

You will need a Sentry DSN for your project. You can get it from the Settings of your Project, in Client Keys (DSN), and copy the string labeled DSN (Public).

The Sentry DSN should then be added as an environment variable when running the dev, build, and start scripts in package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "SENTRY_DSN=<dsn> node server.js",
    "build": "SENTRY_DSN=<dsn> next build",
    "start": "SENTRY_DSN=<dsn> NODE_ENV=production node server.js"
  }
}

Note: Setting environment variables in a package.json is not secure, it is done here only for demo purposes. See the with-dotenv example for an example of how to set environment variables safely.
