# functions deploy

> Deploy local functions to Base44

Deploy local [backend functions](/developers/backend/resources/backend-functions/overview) to Base44. The command reads function directories, validates their configurations, and deploys them individually with per-function progress and status reporting.

By default the functions directory is `base44/functions/`, but you can customize the path in your [project configuration](/developers/backend/overview/project-structure#config-jsonc).

<Note>Each project supports a maximum of 50 backend functions.</Note>

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
base44 functions deploy [names...]
```

## Arguments

| Argument  | Description                                                                                                   | Required |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| `[names]` | One or more function names to deploy, separated by spaces or commas. If omitted, deploys all local functions. | No       |

## Flags

| Flag      | Description                                                                                              |

  stop working.
