Deploy a Fastify app

Deploy Fastify in six steps

1. 01

   Push your Fastify project to a GitHub repository.

2. 02

   Sign in to Rimbra, choose New project and import the repository. Rimbra asks GitHub for access to the repositories you pick.

3. 03

   Rimbra sees a package.json with a start script and runs npm start. Change the root directory or the commands in Settings if your project needs it.

4. 04

   Paste your .env into Variables. Every line becomes a variable, available on the next deploy.

5. 05

   Deploy. The build log streams line by line, and your app goes live at your-project.rimbra.live (or .xyz or .click, your choice) over HTTPS.

6. 06

   Optional: buy or connect a domain, and Rimbra points it at your app with HTTPS issued automatically.

What your app needs

One rule for servers: listen on the port in the PORT environment variable. Rimbra sets it and routes your address to it.

const app = require("fastify")()

app.get("/", async () => ({ hello: "Rimbra" }))

app.listen({ port: Number(process.env.PORT) || 3000, host: "0.0.0.0" })

Fastify on Rimbra

• Listen on host 0.0.0.0 so Rimbra can reach your server.
• Connect a PostgreSQL or MySQL database to the project and DATABASE_URL is set for you, ready for pg, Prisma or Drizzle.
