Deploy from Bolt.new
Deploy a Bolt.new app to your own server.
Bolt.new can generate an app in minutes. Getting that app running in production takes a real release pipeline. We take your Bolt project to a server you own, with Git-based deploys and a clear way back if a release goes wrong.
What changes
Before
- A sandbox or snapshot
- No release history
- Demo data and undeclared dependencies
- Unknown steps to production
After
- Production server you own
- Git push, deploy, health check
- Secrets, database, and backups set
- Rollback and handover documentation
Where it stalls
Why Bolt.new apps get stuck before production.
01
Exports are snapshots
A Bolt export captures code, not the conversation, history, or full configuration. A repository your team owns becomes the source of truth and the deployment trigger.
02
Invisible dependencies
SDKs, environment variables, rate limits, storage, and generated files may be referenced but never defined. We map every one before touching a server.
03
Demo defaults leak into prod
Bolt demos run on defaults. Real production needs real secrets, a real database, and an access model that is not anyone-with-the-URL.
The move, step by step
From Bolt.new project to production server.
Step 01
Move the app into an owned repo
Push the project to GitHub, either via the project sync or a clean commit. The repository is what ships, not the sandbox.
Step 02
Reproduce the stack
Record dependencies, environment variables, storage, and auth. Verify the app builds and runs locally with a clean checkout before provisioning anything.
Step 03
Choose and provision the target
Pick the smallest credible target between a VPS and a managed container service, and stand up the database, backups, and secrets.
Step 04
Wire the pipeline
Lint, build, deploy, smoke test, and rollback hooked to pushes on the production branch.
Step 05
Point the domain and hand over
Switch DNS, verify HTTPS and health checks, then hand over access with a written runbook for the team's next release.
Pricing
One fixed price to get Bolt.new into production.
Starter
$99
Deploy your repo to production. HTTPS, env vars, server process, smoke test, handover notes.
Fix & Deploy
$149
Fix a blocked build, env, Nginx, or database issue and ship the app to production in 24h.
Full Setup
$249
Full VPS setup with app deploy, database, Docker or Nginx, backups, logs, smoke test, and handover.
Hosting adds $10/month on a managed server. Cancel anytime.
Bolt.new deployment questions
Can I keep using Bolt.new after moving?
Yes. Keep the GitHub project sync so your owned repository stays current while you keep prompting and iterating in Bolt.
Do I need Docker?
Not necessarily. We pick the least complex target that fits the workload, whether that is a plain VPS process or a containerized deploy.
How fast can it be live?
On the Fix & Deploy plan we ship a working production deployment within 24 hours or refund.
