Before deploying to production or any remote server, you need to [follow all the steps outlined in the documentation](/docs/remix-fire/going-to-production-overview).

**Much of this work needs to be done in Firebase**, not in the Makerkit codebase.

Generally, you will need to:

1. **Firebase**: Create a new Firebase project (database, storage bucket, getting the private keys)
2. **Security Rules**: Update the remote security rules (both Firestore and Storage)
3. **Environment Variables**: Ensure that your environment variables are set correctly, and that you've added the relevant environment variables to your hosting provider
4. **Auth**: Enable the authentication providers you want to use from the Firebase Console
5. **Indexes**: Update all the Firestore indexes required by your application in the Firebase Console
6. **SMTP**: Set up an SMTP server to send emails by adding the required configuration to `src/configuration.ts`
7. **Payments**: Set up your Stripe or Lemon Squeezy accounts and add the relevant environment variables
8. **Deployment**: Finally, deploy your application to your hosting provider (Vercel, Firebase, Netlify, etc.): please follow the instructions provided by your hosting provider to deploy a Remix application.
