QUESTION: Where do you usually deploy your apps ?

[brunobuddy]

We are currently working hard on making thing easy to deploy Manifest on prod. This means understanding how and where developers like to deploy.

Could you take few seconds to answer the provider and service name ? (Ex: AWS EC2, Digital Ocean droplet...)

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

It is probably not as popular but we have been really enjoying https://railway.app/ for smaller projects. Our costs have been very low.

[brunobuddy]

@SebConejo maybe we should create a guide for Railway

It appears the manifest uses Express.js. Does it work with serverless or edge functions?

[brunobuddy]

Currently there is no functions in Manifest. Can you tell me more about an example use case where you think it can make sense to have that feature @ronaldaug ?

@brunobuddy
I'm currently running the admin panel locally, building a static site, and deploying it to platforms like Netlify and Vercel. I'm considering whether I can host the admin panel on these platforms using edge functions + neon postgres db.

what's this then?

https://github.com/mnfst/manifest/blob/master/packages/core/manifest/src/main.ts#L23

I'm not sure if you misunderstood the question, but lets rephrase it another way:

Deploy manifest on Cloudflare Workers.

We do a lot of self-hosting, so usually https://www.coolify.io/

What is the easiest AWS service to use for deployment?

What do you think about AWS AppRunner? Anyone using AWS AppRunner?

[brunobuddy]

App Runner sounds like a good pick as you can deploy Docker containers that you can host in AWS ECR. You also have the EC2 which is like a classic VPS so it mean more setup and probably a bit cheaper.

[boustanihani]

AppRunner also supports GitHub repos :)

[charlyoleg2]

We deploy on https://www.clever.cloud/ with the PostgreSQL addon.

Closing this out. It's from Manifest's old backend-as-a-service days, which we don't work on anymore since the pivot. See #742 for where things are now.
