In our previous post, we explored how to deploy a Single Page Application (SPA) using [IBM Cloud Code Engine](https://www.ibm.com/products/code-engine) Functions removing the need for complex build pipelines and letting the platform handle everything automatically. Read the original post [here](https://ibm.github.io/CodeEngine/posts/serverless-spa-deployment-with-code-engine-functions/). Along the way, we also showed how to streamline deployments using our official Code Engine GitHub Action, enabling CI/CD and fully automated deployments directly from your repository to Code Engine [Code Engine GitHub Action Blog](https://ibm.github.io/CodeEngine/posts/deploying-apps-jobs-and-functions-using-github-actions/).

This post walks through a simple end-to-end workflow for turning a Markdown-based [Slidev](https://sli.dev) deck into a live presentation: create and preview the slides locally, push the project to GitHub, and automatically deploy the generated output to [IBM Cloud Code Engine](https://www.ibm.com/products/code-engine) as a Function using the official [Code Engine GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/code-engine-github-action).

Now, let's take that idea even further. Imagine a workflow where you simply write your presentation in Markdown, preview it locally, push it to GitHub, and have it automatically deployed as a live web presentation, no manual builds, no infrastructure to manage, and no deployment scripts. Just Markdown to a live URL in minutes.

It builds on our earlier posts [The Serverless Way to Auto-Build and Deploy React, Angular, and Any SPA with IBM Cloud Code Engine Functions](https://ibm.github.io/CodeEngine/posts/serverless-spa-deployment-with-code-engine-functions/) and [IBM Cloud Code Engine: Deploying Apps, Jobs and Functions using GitHub Actions](https://ibm.github.io/CodeEngine/posts/deploying-apps-jobs-and-functions-using-github-actions/), but applies the same approach specifically to Slidev presentations. The result is a clean workflow where you focus on writing slides in Markdown while Code Engine handles the hosting and GitHub Actions handles the deployment.

This is made possible by IBM Cloud Code Engine, IBM's strategic serverless compute platform designed to run a wide range of workloads, including Applications, Jobs, Serverless Fleets and Functions, without requiring you to manage infrastructure. Functions, in particular, provide a lightweight and powerful model: small, stateless pieces of code that execute on demand, typically triggered via HTTP. With support for Node.js and Python, Code Engine Functions offer a simple yet flexible way to serve dynamic logic and, as we'll explore in this post, even static content like presentations.

[IBM Cloud Code Engine](https://www.ibm.com/products/code-engine) makes this possible by providing a fully managed serverless platform for running applications, jobs, and functions without infrastructure management. In this post, we use a Code Engine Function to serve the static Slidev build as a web presentation, giving you a lightweight way to publish and update slides from your repository.

In this follow-up, we'll combine these capabilities with modern developer tooling to create a seamless experience: author your content in Markdown, and let Code Engine take care of everything else—from build to deployment to hosting.

By the end, you'll have a repeatable setup that takes your presentation from local authoring to an automatically updated live URL with minimal operational overhead. The same pattern also works for any other SPA or static web content.
