## Deploying to Heroku
This server can be deployed to [Heroku](https://heroku.com). By design, it should only ever run with a single dyno. You can deploy it by clicking on this button:
[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy)
Or, you can install using the [Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli) as follows:
```bash
heroku create
git push heroku main
heroku open
```
## Deploying to AWS Elastic Beanstalk
To install using the [AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv1.html).
```bash
eb init
eb create
eb open
```
## Deploying to Google Cloud
To install using the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/):
```bash
gcloud projects create my-local-first-relay --set-as-default
gcloud app create
gcloud app deploy
gcloud app browse
```
## Deploying to Azure
To install using the [Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest) installed:
```bash
az group create --name my-local-first-relay --location eastus
az configure --defaults group=my-local-first-relay location=eastus
az appservice plan create --name my-local-first-relay --sku F1
az webapp create --name my-local-first-relay --plan my-local-first-relay
az webapp deployment user set --user-name USERNAME --password PASSWORD
az webapp deployment source config-local-git --name my-local-first-relay
git remote add azure https://USERNAME@my-local-first-relay.scm.azurewebsites.net/my-local-first-relay.git
git push azure main
az webapp browse --name my-local-first-relay
```
## Installing and running locally
```bash
yarn
yarn start
```
You should see confirmation on the command line that it's running.
```
🐟 Listening at http://localhost:8080
```
You can visit that address with a web browser to confirm that it's active. If it is, you'll see this:

## AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Vercel, Serverless, Cloudwatch Workers, etc.
Since true serverless functions are stateless and only spun up on demand, they're not a good fit for
this server, which needs to remember information about connected peers and maintain a stable
websocket connection with each one.
