In this blog I will demonstrate how to Install and Deploy a React | Redux | Node.js application onto Cosmic JS. The app is a simple ToDo App that consumes the Cosmic JS CMS API.

I’ll be using Cosmic JS for this deploy process. Cosmic JS is an API-first CMS that makes managing and building websites and applications faster and more intuitive. By decoupling content from code, Cosmic JS empowers developer flexibility while ensuring content editors can plan and deploy content as it best suits them. Cosmic JS lets developers use the tools they love, like Node.js, GitHub, Docker and more.

Get started by Signing Up for Cosmic JS. Helpful resources are provided below.
