Host ai chat application with Hono: streamed responses

Deploy a ai chat application built with Hono on Ample using the streaming response service pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL. Verified on Hono: a Server-Sent Events endpoint read incrementally through the public HTTPS gateway: five one-second chunks arrived spread over time with the first within seconds (not buffered), a 70-second stream of 36 chunks completed past common 60-second idle timeouts, and a client that disconnected after two chunks was observed and recorded by the server (disconnected=true). Not separately tested: your event schema, reconnection strategy and any per-request duration ceiling beyond the 70 seconds measured; treat the ai chat application-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host ai chat application with Hono: streamed responses
• Where can I host AI chat application built with Hono?
• I need a tested end-to-end streaming transport, timeout behavior and client disconnect handling.

Resource Requirements

• Compute: Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Hono major versions are not verified.
• Postgres: Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified; apps and their databases are placed together.

Workflow Steps

1. 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.
2. Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL: The fixture's module implements streaming response service: a Server-Sent Events endpoint read incrementally through the public HTTPS gateway.
3. Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.
4. Verify: Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s).

Examples

• Hono pattern fixture: Multi-pattern Hono app whose streaming response service module was checked live.

Success Checks

• App responds on its public URL
• Streaming-response-service self-test returns expected events.

Limitations

• The AI chat application itself (your event schema, reconnection strategy and any per-request duration ceiling beyond the 70 seconds measured) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.

Cost Estimate
