Deploy on Node

Choose Node when creating a project. The generated main.js imports the built application handler and serves client assets through limette/node:

// main.js
import { serve } from "limette/node";
import handler from "./dist/server/entry.js";

await serve(handler, {
  port: Number(process.env.PORT ?? 8000),
  staticFiles: { root: "./dist/client" },
});

Build before starting:

npm run build
npm run start

serve adapts Node HTTP requests to Web Request objects and writes the returned Response. It accepts options such as port, hostname, onListen, and staticFiles. Without a specified port it tries ports 8000 through 8019. Static files are checked before the application handler when staticFiles is configured.

The server bundle is dist/server/entry.js; client assets are in dist/client. Deploy both outputs with the application dependencies and launcher.
