# Bitbucket Pipelines: Basic Deployment

The simplest pipeline deploys your API to Zuplo on every push to main.

```yaml title="bitbucket-pipelines.yml"
image: node:20

pipelines:
  branches:
    main:
      - step:
          name: Deploy to Zuplo
          script:
            - npm install
            - npx zuplo deploy --api-key "$ZUPLO_API_KEY"
```

Store `ZUPLO_API_KEY` in **Repository settings** > **Pipelines** > **Repository
variables**.

## Next Steps

- Add [automated testing](./deploy-and-test.mdx) after deployment
- Set up [PR preview environments](./pr-preview-environments.mdx)
