How does one deploy a Webpack + React App to a live server?

I've been following these tutorials, and I'm wanting to know, how do I go about deploying a Webpack + React app to a live server/production environment? I'd be really grateful for any resources or advice anyone has to give on this. Is it as simple as loading the index.html and build.js files via ftp to a host? I've not seen anything on Treehouse about how to go about doing this.

Yes, you're correct, when you run your Webpack script it should create the necessary bundle of files commonly in a folder called 'dist'. Be sure your index.html is referencing the .js files in the correct order and then upload all the files to your server.
