Deploy and Host Static Site on Railway

This templates showcases my Astro starter: Launchpad If this works for you or you like the starter, please consider giving it a star on Github :)

This template demonstrates how to deploy an Astro (or other frontend framework) static site to a Railway Bucket using Functions. It provides a streamlined way to host static assets without managing a full server setup. This template showcases an Astro Starter but probably works with any static site that can be built with Bun.

About Hosting Static Site

Hosting a static site involves serving pre-built HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly to users. Unlike dynamic applications, static sites don’t require a backend server to generate pages at runtime, which makes them fast, secure, and easy to deploy. Deployment typically involves building the site locally and then uploading the generated files to a hosting platform, which then serves them over a CDN for optimal performance. In this case, we're uploading the files to a Railway Bucket within a Railway Function.

Common Use Cases

Personal or portfolio websites
Documentation sites for projects or products
Marketing landing pages for campaigns or services
