An example of how to deploy an SSR site built with Astro on Kinsta App Hosting services.
Kinsta is a developer-centric cloud host / PaaS. We’re striving to make it easier for you to share your web projects with your users. Focus on coding and building, and we’ll take care of deployment and provide fast, scalable hosting. + 24/7 expert-only support.
Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your package.json file, during the deployment process.
Kinsta automatically sets the PORT environment variable. You should not define it yourself and you should not hard-code it into the application.
When deploying an application, Kinsta automatically creates a web process with npm start as the entry point. Make sure to use this command to run your server.
Whenever a deployment is initiated (through creating an application or re-deploying due to an incoming commit) the npm build command is run, followed by the npm start command.
Astro is a static site framework focusing on content-rich websites to deliver faster load times with less JavaScript. More information is available on the astro.build website.
