# Deployment
Once an extension has been developed, the deployment process involves packaging and uploading it to the host application.
Packaging is handled by the `superset-extensions bundle` command, which:
1. Builds frontend assets using Webpack (with Module Federation configuration).
2. Collects backend Python source files and all necessary resources.
3. Generates a `manifest.json` with build-time metadata, including the contents of `extension.json` and references to built assets.
4. Packages everything into a `.supx` file (a zip archive with a specific structure required by Superset).
To deploy an extension, place the `.supx` file in the extensions directory configured via `EXTENSIONS_PATH` in your `superset_config.py`:
``` python
EXTENSIONS_PATH = "/path/to/extensions"
```
During application startup, Superset automatically discovers and loads all `.supx` files from this directory:
1. Scans the configured directory for `.supx` files.
2. Validates each file is a properly formatted zip archive.
3. Extracts and validates the extension manifest and metadata.
4. Loads the extension, making it available for use.
This file-based approach simplifies deployment in containerized environments and enables version control of extensions alongside infrastructure configuration.
