Node.js workload examples
From Express APIs to Discord bots and workers.
Shard Cloud runs any Node.js workload, including SSR sites, Socket.IO servers, queues, cron jobs and custom processes. These examples use the Node.js runtime and your project's own configuration.
Explore capabilitiesExpress, Fastify & NestJS APIs
Host Node.js HTTP APIs and webhooks with your own routes and middleware. Next.js SSR sites and Socket.IO servers are other examples of web workloads you can deploy.
Queue workers
Run Node.js processes that consume queue jobs or perform scheduled tasks. Set their entry point or custom start command and follow each process through its logs and resource metrics.
Discord bots with discord.js
Host a discord.js bot or another Node.js integration. Configure its token in environment variables and use application logs to follow connections and incoming events.
Built to operate
Node.js hosting for servers, workers and bots.
Run Node.js APIs, SSR sites, workers and bots, then operate them with persistent storage, domains, logs and restart support.
Choose a Node.js version
Select a supported Node.js version for your project; the deployment guide covers the current project configuration.
Uploads & application state
Each application has a 10 GB persistent disk at /app. Files stored there survive application restarts, including uploads and other files your Node.js process writes.
Publish an address
Every application receives a free HTTPS address under *.shardweb.app. Connect your own domain with the Core plan or higher.
Use logs and resource metrics
Application logs show output from your Node.js process, including startup and runtime errors. Memory and CPU metrics help you size an Express API, a Next.js site or a worker using its actual workload.
Automatic restart
Node.js applications support auto-restart. Manage the process from the dashboard and use logs to investigate errors that cause it to stop.
Deployment setup
How to deploy a Node.js app on Shard Cloud.
Prepare your project, choose its Node.js runtime and start command, then launch it from the dashboard.
Get started01
Prepare your project
Include index.js or index.ts, package.json and .shardcloud. Leave node_modules and package-lock.json out of the archive.
02
Configure the deployment
Set the entry file, memory and version in .shardcloud, then upload a ZIP/RAR from the dashboard or connect GitHub.
03
Verify the workload
Open the *.shardweb.app address, hit an endpoint, and read the application logs for startup errors.
From connection to the first decision, in one flow.
