# tfts deploy

> Deploy infrastructure changes

Apply changes to your infrastructure.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy [stack] [options]
```

## Aliases

* `apply`

## Description

The `deploy` command synthesizes your configuration and runs `terraform apply` to create, update, or delete infrastructure resources.

## Options

| Option          | Type    | Description                            | Default         |
| --------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| `--app`         | string  | Command to run the tfts app            | From cdktf.json |
| `--output`      | string  | Output directory                       | `cdktf.out`     |
| `--skipSynth`   | boolean | Skip synthesis step                    | `false`         |
| `--autoApprove` | boolean | Skip interactive approval              | `false`         |
| `--target`      | string  | Target specific resources (repeatable) | -               |

## Examples

### Basic Usage

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy
```

You will be prompted to approve the changes.

### Specific Stack

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy production
```

### Auto-Approve (CI/CD)

Skip the interactive approval prompt:

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy --autoApprove
```

### Skip Synthesis

Use when you've already run `tfts synth`:

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy --skipSynth
```

### Target Specific Resources

Deploy only specific resources:

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy --target google_compute_instance.web
```

## CI/CD Usage

For automated deployments:

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy --autoApprove
```

Or with environment-specific stacks:

```bash theme={null}
npx tfts deploy production --autoApprove
```

## Automatic Initialization

If the stack hasn't been initialized, `tfts deploy` automatically runs `terraform init` before applying.
