Deploy

Not the same as running it locally

Locally it works because your machine has everything. Deploying moves it somewhere that has none of your setup — which is where the missing key, the hardcoded path and the absent dependency all surface at once.

Where it bites

The moment something is deployed it can cost money and can be reached by anyone. Both facts arrive without a notification, which is why the first deploy is the right time to check what it can spend and what it exposes.
