The simplest Up application is a single file for the application itself, with zero dependencies, and an up.json file which requires only a name.

If the directory does not contain an up.json file, the first execution of up will prompt you to create it, or you can manually create an up.json with some preferences:

{
  "name": "appname-api",
  "profile": "companyname",
  "regions": ["us-west-2"]
}

Up runs "vanilla" HTTP servers listening on the PORT environment variable, which is passed to your program by Up. For example create a new directory with the following app.js file:

const http = require('http')
const { PORT = 3000 } = process.env

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello World from Node.js\n')
}).listen(PORT)

Deploy it to the staging environment:

$ up

Open up the URL in your browser:

$ up url --open

Or test with curl:

$ curl `up url`

That's it! You've deployed a basic Up application. To view further help for commands use:

$ up help
$ up help COMMAND
$ up help COMMAND SUBCOMMAND

If you're not a Node.js developer here are some examples in additional languages.

For Python create app.py:

from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer
import os

class myHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
  def do_GET(self):
      self.send_response(200)
      self.send_header('Content-type','text/html')
      self.end_headers()
      self.wfile.write("Hello World from Python\n")
      return

server = HTTPServer(('', int(os.environ['PORT'])), myHandler)
server.serve_forever()

For Golang create main.go:

package main

import (
  "os"
  "fmt"
  "log"
  "net/http"
)

func main() {
  addr := ":"+os.Getenv("PORT")
  http.HandleFunc("/", hello)
  log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(addr, nil))
}

func hello(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  fmt.Fprintln(w, "Hello World from Go")
}

Finally for Crystal create main.cr:

require "http/server"

port = ENV["PORT"].to_i

server = HTTP::Server.new(port) do |ctx|
  ctx.response.content_type = "text/plain"
  ctx.response.print "Hello world from Crystal"
end

server.listen
