  Hey @AdrianPrendas — we will need more information to help you here.

  In production, Payload serves the contents of the /build folder statically via Express, so everything under /admin will first attempt to match to a file in /build, but if there is no file there, it will fall back to serving to /build/index.html.

  In regards to deploying to production, we have a collection of tutorials that show how to deploy Payload to a DigitalOcean droplet here:

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/production/deployment#digitalocean-tutorials

  But you can deploy it to anywhere that can host a Node / Express app.

  Here's another walkthrough for Northflank:

  I'm going to convert this to a discussion as it is not related to an issue with Payload but we are happy to continue to help there in the discussion!
