Builds an application using the suga.yaml application spec and referenced platform. 
suga build
The build command transforms your Suga application configuration into production-ready Terraform infrastructure code. This is typically the step you run before deploying to cloud providers.

​
What happens during build

  1. Validates configuration - Checks your suga.yaml for errors
  2. Analyzes dependencies - Reviews your application services and resources
  3. Generates Terraform - Creates cloud provider-specific infrastructure code
  4. Outputs deployment stack - Produces a complete Terraform directory ready for deployment

​
Output Structure

The build process creates a .suga/stacks/ directory containing:
  • Terraform configuration - Cloud provider resources (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Application containers - Services, built into Docker Containers ready for deployment
  • Networking setup - Load balancers, security groups, routing
  • Resource definitions - Databases, storage buckets, queues, etc.

​
Next Steps After Build

  1. Navigate to the generated stack directory: cd .suga/stacks/your-app-{provider}-{id}
  2. Initialize Terraform: terraform init -upgrade
  3. Preview changes: terraform plan
  4. Deploy: terraform apply

​
Example

suga build
The command will prompt you to select your deployment target (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and region if not already configured.
