sample-waku-render

This is a minimal pnpm + Waku sample project that can be deployed to render.com.

Run Locally

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Verify the production build:

pnpm build
PORT=3000 pnpm start

Deploy to Render

Option 1: Blueprint with render.yaml

Use the render.yaml file in this directory.

1. Push this project to GitHub.
2. In Render, choose New + -> Blueprint.
3. Select the repository and deploy.

Option 2: Create a Web Service Manually

In the Render Web Service setup page, configure:

• Runtime: Node
• Build Command: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build
• Start Command: pnpm start
• Environment Variable: NODE_VERSION=25.6.1 (or another version that satisfies Waku requirements)

Notes

• Waku CLI does not automatically read PORT, so the start script explicitly sets -p ${PORT:-10000}.
• Render injects PORT, and the app starts on that port.
