MIGRATION

Deploy your Express.js app in 5 minutes with these simple steps

npm install genezio -g 
npm install serverless-http

1 Prerequisites

First, you need to install the serverless-http package. Open your terminal and run the following command

app.mjs

import express from "express";
import Serverless from "serverless-http";

const app = express();

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Hello World from Express serverless!");
});

app.get("/users", (req, res) => {
  res.json([
    { id: 1, name: "Alice" },
    { id: 2, name: "Bob" },
  ]);
});

// You don’t need to listen to the port when using serverless functions in production 
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "dev") {
  app.listen(8080, () => {
    console.log(
      "Server is running on port 8080. Check the app on http://localhost:8080"
    );
  });
}

export const handler = Serverless(app);

2 Export the Handler

Next, you need to export the handler function for your Express.js app. In your main application file (e.g. app.mjs).

genezio.yaml

name: express-app
region: us-east-1
yamlVersion: 2
backend:
  # The root directory of the backend.
  path: ./
  language:
    name: js
    packageManager: npm
  functions:
    - name: test-fn
      path: ./
      handler: handler
      entry: app.mjs

3 Create Genezio Config File

Now, create a genezio.yaml file in the root directory of your project. This file will contain the configuration needed to deploy your backend using Genezio.

NODE_ENV=dev node app.mjs

4 Test Your App Locally

Before deploying your app, you can test it locally to ensure it's working correctly.
