GitHub Deploy

Deploy from Bolt

Bolt built your full-stack app in the browser. Now deploy it to a real server — with GitHub auto-deploy, HTTPS, and resources that scale.

The Deployment Gap

Bolt.new generates full-stack applications in-browser with frameworks like Next.js, Remix, and Astro. It can spin up a working app in seconds, but getting that app onto production infrastructure is another story.

  • Bolt's in-browser preview is not production hosting — it disappears when you close the tab or hit usage limits
  • Full-stack Bolt apps use server-side rendering, API routes, and databases that static hosts cannot serve
  • Downloading the project and figuring out deployment manually kills the speed advantage of using Bolt
  • Bolt generates real framework code (Next.js, Remix) that needs Node.js runtime hosting, not just a CDN

Deploy in 4 Steps

1

Push Bolt project to GitHub

Use Bolt's built-in GitHub integration to push your project to a repository. Or download and push manually.

2

Create an InstaPods pod

Sign into InstaPods, create a new pod with the Node.js preset to support your Bolt-generated framework.

instapods create my-bolt-app --preset nodejs --plan build
3

Connect the GitHub repo

In the InstaPods dashboard, go to the Git tab and connect your Bolt project's GitHub repo. InstaPods detects the framework, installs dependencies, and builds.

4

Auto-deploy on every push

Push changes to GitHub and InstaPods auto-deploys. Your Bolt app is live on a real server with HTTPS.

Auto-Deploy

Push from Bolt to GitHub, and InstaPods picks up the change automatically. Every commit triggers a new deployment — build, install, restart.

Why Not Bolt Preview?

  • Bolt's preview environment is temporary and usage-limited — InstaPods gives you a permanent server
  • Run the actual framework server (Next.js, Remix) with full Node.js runtime, not just static files
  • SSH into your server, install extra packages, run background processes — full Linux access
  • Flat monthly pricing starting at $7/mo vs unpredictable usage-based billing
