This topic describes how to deploy Express applications to Function Compute. Compared
with traditional deployment methods, you can deploy traditional Express applications
to remote sites for direct production with one click. In addition, you can also enjoy
features such as auto scaling, pay-as-you-go, and maintenance-free.
Background information
Express is a simple and flexible Web application development framework based on the Node.js
platform. It provides a series of powerful characteristics to help you create a variety
of Web and mobile device applications.
Step 1: Prepare the environment
You do not need to install Docker but only Funcraft. The easiest way to install Funcraft
is to download the executable binary files.
- Install Funcraft. For more information, see Install Funcraft.
- Run the
fun --version
command to check whether the installation is successful.
- Configure Funcraft. For more information, see Configure Funcraft.
Step 2: Deploy an application
- Use the following command to create an Express project.
- Use the following command to enter the sample project you created or an existing project.
- Use the following command to install local dependencies.
- Run the command to run the project.
- Run the
fun deploy -y
command to deploy the application to Function Compute.
Funcraft automatically begins to deploy the application.
$fun deploy -y
current folder is not a fun project.

custom domain Domain deploy success
After the application is deployed, you can check the logs to find the temporary domain
name that Function Compute generated. You can use this temporary domain name to access
the deployed application.
Note The temporary domain name is used only for demonstration and development purposes.
It is valid for a limited period of time. To use an application in a production environment,
you must bind the application to a domain name that has obtained an Internet Content
Provider (ICP) filing from Alibaba Cloud. For more information, see
Bind a custom domain name.
