Representative Queries
- Configure build and start for Hono
- Where can I host Configure build and start built with Hono?
- I need pinned build/start commands, port binding and a tested process lifecycle.
Resource Requirements
- primitive:compute
Infrastructure Requirements
- Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
Prerequisites
- A Hono project (npm install and npm run start with @hono/node-server on the node-22 template)
- An Ample account token with servers:write
Tested Configuration
- Template: node-22
- Runtime: node
- Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
- Install: npm install
- Build: npm run build --if-present
- Start: npm run start
Workflow Steps
- Build and start: npm install and npm run start with @hono/node-server on the node-22 template; the server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.
- Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result.
ample deploy . --name --public - Verify: Fetch the live URL on the example; on failure read the build and runtime logs.
ample logs --kind build
Examples
- Hono pattern fixture: Verified build and start on Hono.
Success Checks
- app responds on its public URL
Limitations
- Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; other sizes and Hono 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
- Authoritative: true
- Basis: size prices from pricing.toml (loaded by the API) at build revision 1ac5595375130d45290090e82ed0f554ccd45405-dirty
- Components:
- App server: size s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity 1.0, monthly amount 5.0
- Components:
- Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps auto-pause when idle. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.
Evidence Summary
- Canary run: Hono pattern fixture deployed on Ample (npm install and npm run start with @hono/node-server on the node-22 template); for this guide: the app built and started with the documented commands and answered on its public HTTPS URL.
