# 2 5 0 Deploying to TerraTowns (HCL)

Andrew test-deploys a house on the test town Missingo using our fully-functional custom plugin.

## Code Notes

* I trust that we have covered enough knowledge to understand how Go works and how the plugin is written in Go. This section provides the side-by-side comparison of Go in use in HCL (left) and the underlying mechanism of the "Go binary" (right).
* The source code: [main.tf](https://github.com/omenking/terraform-beginner-bootcamp-2023/blob/2.5.0/main.tf) & [main.go](https://github.com/omenking/terraform-beginner-bootcamp-2023/blob/2.5.0/terraform-provider-terratowns/main.go)

Once deployed, below is what a terratowns house looks like on the Cloud service ([TerraTowns](https://terratowns.cloud/)).&#x20;
