Configure build and start for Gin

Summary

Build and start for a Gin app on Ample. Verified on Gin: the app built and started with the documented commands and answered on its public HTTPS URL. Build and start:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o app ./...
./app

on the ubuntu-24.04 template (go.sum committed for a reproducible build).

Prerequisites

• A Gin project (CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o app ./... then ./app on the ubuntu-24.04 template (go.sum committed for a reproducible build))
• An Ample account token with servers:write

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start
   CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o app ./... then ./app on the ubuntu-24.04 template (go.sum committed for a reproducible build); the server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.
2. Deploy
   Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result.
ample deploy . --name --public
3. Verify
   Fetch the live URL on the example; on failure read the build and runtime logs.
ample logs --kind build

Tested Configuration

• Template: ubuntu-24.04
• Runtime: go
• Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
• Build Command: CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o app ./...
• Start Command: ./app

Success Checks

• app responds on its public URL

Limitations

• Verified on the ubuntu-24.04 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; other sizes and Gin major versions are not verified.
• Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 5.0
• Components:
  • app server (size: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthly amount: 5.0)
  • Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps auto-pause when idle.

Evidence Summary

• Kind: canary_run
