How to Deploy a Node.js App in 30 Seconds

Deploying a Node.js application used to mean provisioning a VPS, installing dependencies, configuring Nginx, and setting up PM2. Not anymore.

With Remoud, you can go from local development to a live production URL in under 30 seconds.

Prerequisites

• A Node.js app with a package.json
• A GitHub account
• A free Remoud account

Step 1: Push Your Code to GitHub

git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/you/my-app.git
git push -u origin main

Step 2: Connect to Remoud

Log in to your Remoud dashboard, click New Project, and select your GitHub repository. Remoud automatically detects Node.js.

Step 3: Deploy

Click Deploy. Remoud will clone your repo, install dependencies via npm install, run your start command, provision SSL, and give you a live URL.

Automatic Redeployments

Every time you push to main, Remoud automatically redeploys. Just git push and your changes are live.

Environment Variables

Add DATABASE_URL or API_KEY from the dashboard. They're encrypted at rest and injected at runtime.

Why Remoud for Node.js?

• Zero config - auto-detects Node.js
• Free tier - one app free forever
• Git push deploys - automatic on push
• Built-in terminal - SSH from the browser
• Live logs - real-time streaming
