jarle Deploy a Bun application on Render
Render is a cloud platform that lets you flexibly build, deploy, and scale your apps.
It offers features like auto deploys from GitHub, a global CDN, private networks, automatic HTTPS setup, and managed PostgreSQL and Redis.
Render supports Bun natively. You can deploy Bun apps as web services, background workers, cron jobs, and more.
As an example, let's deploy a simple Express HTTP server to Render.
```sh theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
git clone git@github.com:my-github-username/myapp.git
cd myapp
```
```sh theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
bun add express
```
```ts app.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e/nIz6GtMH5K-dfXeV/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=nIz6GtMH5K-dfXeV&q=85&s=5d73d76daf7eb7b158469d8c30d349b0" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
import express from "express";
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3001;
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello World!");
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`);
});
```
```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
git add app.ts bun.lock package.json
git commit -m "Create simple Express app"
git push origin main
```
