+metaDescription: 'Learn how to deploy a Node.js server that uses Prisma ORM to Fly.io.'
+---
+
+
+This guide explains how to deploy a Node.js server that uses Prisma ORM and PostgreSQL to Fly.io.
+
+The [Prisma Render deployment example](https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/latest/deployment-platforms/render) contains an Express.js application with REST endpoints and a simple frontend. This app uses Prisma Client to fetch, create, and delete records from its database.
+This guide will show you how to deploy the same application, without modification, on Fly.io.
+
+## About Fly.io
+
+[fly.io](https://fly.io/) is a cloud application platform that lets developers easily deploy and scale full-stack applications that start on request near on machines near to users. For this example, it's helpful to know:
+- Fly.io lets you deploy long-running, "serverful" full-stack applications in [35 regions around the world](https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/). By default, applications are configured to to [auto-stop](https://fly.io/docs/launch/autostop-autostart/) when not in use, and auto-start as needed as requests come in.
+- Fly.io natively supports a wide variety of [languages and frameworks](https://fly.io/docs/languages-and-frameworks/), including Node.js and Bun. In this guide, we'll use the Node.js runtime.
+- Fly.io can [launch apps directly from GitHub](https://fly.io/speedrun).  When run from the CLI, `fly launch` will automatically configure applications hosted on GitHub to deploy on push.
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Sign up for a [Fly.io](https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/launch/) account
+
+## Get the example code
+Download the [example code](https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/latest/deployment-platforms/render) to your local machine.
+```terminal
+curl https://codeload.github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tar.gz/latest | tar -xz --strip=2 prisma-examples-latest/deployment-platforms/render
+cd render
+```
+
+## Understand the example
+
+Before we deploy the app, let's take a look at the example code.
+
+### Web application
+
+The logic for the Express app is in two files:
+- `src/index.js`: The API. The endpoints use Prisma Client to fetch, create, and delete data from the database.
+- `public/index.html`: The web frontend. The frontend calls a few of the API endpoints.
+
+### Prisma schema and migrations
+
+The Prisma components of this app are in three files:
+- `prisma/schema.prisma`: The data model of this app. This example defines two models, `User` and `Post`. The format of this file follows the [Prisma schema](/orm/prisma-schema/overview).
+- `prisma/migrations/<migration name>/migration.sql`: The SQL commands that construct this schema in a PostgreSQL database. You can auto-generate migration files like this one by running [`prisma migrate dev`](/orm/prisma-migrate/understanding-prisma-migrate/mental-model#what-is-prisma-migrate).
+- `prisma/seed.js`: defines some test users and postsPrisma, used to [seed the database](/orm/prisma-migrate/workflows/seeding) with starter data.
+
+
+## Deploy the example
+
+### 1. Run `fly launch` and accept the defaults
+
+That’s it. Your web service will be live at its `fly.dev` URL as soon as the deploy completes.  Optionally [scale](https://fly.io/docs/launch/scale-count/) the size, number, and placement of machines as desired.  [`fly console`](https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/console/) can be used to ssh into a new or existing machine.
