Deploy Any Code to the Web in 60 Seconds
You wrote some code. Maybe it's a Python API, a Node.js server, a Go binary, or just a folder of HTML files. You want it on the internet with a real URL. Here's how to get there in about a minute, regardless of what language you wrote it in.
The Short Version
You: deploy this to DartUp
Analyzing project...
✓ Detected: Python (FastAPI)
✓ Built container
✓ Deployed
Live at: https://my-api.dartup.dev
Works the same whether your project is Python, Node, Go, Rust, Ruby, or plain HTML.
The Problem with "Just Deploy It"
Deployment has always been weirdly hard for how simple the goal is. You have working code on your machine. You want that same code running on a server somewhere. That's it.
But the actual process? Pick a cloud provider. Set up an account. Configure a server. Install dependencies. Write a Dockerfile. Set up a reverse proxy. Get SSL certificates. Configure DNS. Hope nothing breaks at 2 AM.
Most of that has nothing to do with your code. It's infrastructure busywork, and it kills the momentum of actually building things.
What DartUp Actually Does
DartUp looks at your code, figures out what it is, wraps it in a container, and puts it on the internet. You don't configure anything. There's no YAML file, no build pipeline, no server to manage.
Here's what the auto-detection handles:
Node.js
Sees package.json and runs your start script.
Express, Fastify, Next.js, Hono, NestJS
Python
Sees requirements.txt or pyproject.toml and figures out your framework.
Flask, FastAPI, Django, Streamlit
Go
Sees go.mod, compiles a static binary, runs it.
Gin, Chi, Fiber, net/http
Rust
Sees Cargo.toml, builds with release profile.
Actix, Axum, Rocket, Warp
Ruby
Sees Gemfile, bundles and runs.
Rails, Sinatra, Hanami
Static Sites
Sees index.html and serves it with nginx.
HTML/CSS/JS, React builds, Vue builds
Already have a Dockerfile? DartUp uses that instead. So if you're running something exotic like Elixir, Haskell, or a custom setup, just include a Dockerfile and it works.
Real Examples
Let's deploy three different projects in three different languages. Same flow every time.
A Python FastAPI Server
You: Build a FastAPI endpoint that converts Celsius to Fahrenheit
✓ Created main.py with /convert endpoint
✓ Created requirements.txt
You: Deploy it to DartUp as "temp-converter"
Deploying...
✓ Detected: Python (FastAPI)
Live at: https://temp-converter.dartup.dev
A Go REST API
You: Build a Go API with Gin that returns random quotes
✓ Created main.go with /quote endpoint
✓ Created go.mod
You: Deploy to DartUp as "quotable"
Deploying...
✓ Detected: Go
Live at: https://quotable.dartup.dev
A Static Portfolio Site
You: Build a portfolio page with my projects listed
✓ Created index.html
✓ Created style.css
You: Deploy to DartUp
Deploying...
✓ Detected: Static site
Live at: https://portfolio-a3f1.dartup.dev
Three languages, three frameworks, identical deployment experience. That's the point.
What You Get
Every deployment includes:
- HTTPS - Automatic SSL certificates. No configuration.
- Custom subdomain - Pick your own name or get one auto-generated.
- Auto-restart - If your app crashes, it comes back up.
- Health checks - DartUp monitors your app and restarts unhealthy containers.
- Isolated containers - Your code runs in its own sandbox.
On the Pro plan ($29/month), you also get persistent volumes, sidecar databases, custom domains, and preview environments. But the free tier is genuinely useful for getting a single project online.
Pre-built Docker Images
Sometimes you don't want to deploy your own code. You want to deploy someone else's. DartUp handles that too.
You: Deploy the nginx:alpine Docker image to DartUp as "my-nginx"
Deploying Docker image...
✓ Pulled nginx:alpine
✓ Deployed
Live at: https://my-nginx.dartup.dev
Any public Docker Hub image works. Good for deploying tools like Metabase, Grafana, or any pre-packaged application.
Why Not Just Use Vercel/Railway/Render?
You can. They're good platforms. But each one has friction that DartUp removes:
- Vercel is built for Next.js. If you're deploying a Python API or a Go binary, it's the wrong tool. Also, usage-based pricing can get expensive fast.
- Railway is solid, but expects you to connect a GitHub repo and configure build settings. That's extra steps when you just want to ship something.
- Render requires manual dashboard configuration. You pick a service type, set build commands, configure environment. It works, but it's not "say deploy and walk away."
DartUp's thing is that there are no steps between "I have code" and "it's on the internet." You say deploy, and it figures out the rest. For quick projects, prototypes, and anything you want online fast, that matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
What programming languages can I deploy?
Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, and static HTML/CSS/JS sites are auto-detected. If your project has a Dockerfile, you can deploy any language. You can also deploy pre-built Docker images directly from Docker Hub.
Do I need Docker knowledge?
No. DartUp generates the container configuration automatically based on your project files. If you happen to have a Dockerfile already, it'll use that instead.
How much does it cost?
Free tier gets you 1 deployment with HTTPS and a custom subdomain. Starter is $9/month for 3 projects. Pro is $29/month for 10 projects with databases, volumes, and custom domains.
Can I deploy a project that isn't on GitHub?
Yes. DartUp deploys from your local files. No GitHub repo required. Just have your code in a directory and say deploy.
Get Started
Sign up, get an API key, deploy. The whole process takes about a minute, and the first deployment is free.
