Deploying to Render

Render runs your app as a persistent web service and supports SSE/WebSocket workloads. The free web service tier sleeps when idle.

Project Structure

`-- render.yaml

main.py

from fasthtml.common import FastHTML
from faststrap import add_bootstrap

app = FastHTML()
add_bootstrap(app)  # Local static serving is supported on Render

render.yaml (optional IaC)

services:
  - type: web
    name: faststrap-app
    env: python
    plan: starter
    buildCommand: pip install -r requirements.txt
    startCommand: uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

Manual Setup

1. Create a new Web Service in Render.
2. Connect repository.
3. Build command: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Start command: uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

Notes

• Free tier sleeps after inactivity; wake-up introduces latency.
• Upgrade plan to keep service always-on for real-time workloads.
