How to deploy KrakenJs on my production server

Question

I would like to deploy my KrakenJS project. I used grunt to build the project and got the output in .build directory. I am not really sure what to do from here. Should I package the full project and run it on the server using the npm start or is there anything else I should do with the build results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Personnaly I'm using GIT to deploy app to production. It's fast and simple.

Some resources to automate deployment :

Yes: packing all that up and shipping it to the server is a perfectly reasonable deploy strategy.

Some people npm shrinkwrap; that's useful if you're willing to trust the npm registry to be up for deploys. npm package is useful, there, too.

A lot of people check a built tree into a release git repo -- that's not a bad strategy either, and allows delta-transmission of deploys, which is great.
