In this week’s Harper Learn session, Solutions Architect Ivan Judson walks through how to take a simple local setup and deploy it to a fully managed, multi-node Harper cluster in just a few steps. You’ll see how a project that starts on your laptop—configured with static files, users, and basic access rules—can be pushed to the cloud and immediately scaled across nodes with Harper’s streamlined deployment workflow. Ivan demonstrates how configuration, access groups, and app logic seamlessly transfer from local to distributed environments, highlighting the power and simplicity of Harper’s fused platform.To wrap up, Ivan gives a sneak peek of next week’s session by sending an MQTT message that triggers a real-world action—offering a glimpse into how Harper enables fast, event-driven applications. Whether you're building locally or deploying globally, this episode shows how quickly you can go from development to distributed production with Harper.
