Quickstart

Create Your Zynnode Account

1. Go to zynnode.com/register.
2. Fill the registeration form.
3. Enter your invite code (required during the beta period).
4. Authorize Zynnode to access your GitHub account.

Once signed in, you'll land on the Zynnode dashboard.

Start a New Project

1. From the dashboard, click the New Project button in the top-right corner.
2. You'll see a list of your GitHub repositories. Use the search bar to find the one you want to deploy.
3. Click on the repository to select it. Zynnode will automatically detect your framework (e.g., Next.js, React, Vue).
4. Click Continue.

Configure Your Project

Zynnode auto-fills most settings based on your project. Review and adjust if needed:

• Project Name — A friendly name for your project in the dashboard.
• Framework — Auto-detected from your repository.
• Branch — The branch to deploy from (defaults to your main branch).
• Build Command — The command to build your app (e.g., npm run build).
• Output Directory — Where your built files end up (e.g., dist, build, .next).
• Deployment Target — Where your app will run. This depends on the cloud provider you'll choose next. Options include:
  • S3 + CloudFront — Static sites and single-page apps (AWS)
  • EC2 — Full-stack apps running on a virtual machine (AWS)
  • ECS — Containerized apps with auto-scaling (AWS)
  • Lambda — Serverless functions (AWS)
  • Cloudflare Pages — Static and JAMstack apps on the Cloudflare edge
  • Azure VM — Full-stack apps running on Azure
  • Cloud Run — Containerized apps on Google Cloud
  • App Engine — Managed apps on Google Cloud
  • Compute Engine — Full-stack apps on a Google Cloud VM
• Environment Variables — Add any secrets your app needs (e.g., DATABASE_URL, API_KEY). You can also add these later.

Click Continue once you're happy with the settings.

Connect a Cloud Provider

Choose where you want to deploy:

• AWS — Uses a CloudFormation template. Full guide →
• Cloudflare — Enter your Account ID and an API Token. Full guide →
• Azure — Uses an ARM template. Full guide →
• GCP — Upload a service account JSON key. Full guide →

Click the provider card, then follow the on-screen instructions to connect your account. If you've already connected a provider in a previous project, Zynnode will detect the existing connection and skip this step.

Review and Deploy

You'll see a summary of your project:

• Repository — The GitHub repo you selected
• Project Name — The name you chose
• Framework — Your detected framework
• Cloud Provider — The provider and connection you set up

Click Deploy to kick off your first build. Zynnode will:

1. Clone your repository
2. Install dependencies
3. Run your build command
4. Deploy your app to the cloud provider you selected

You can watch the build logs in real-time right from the dashboard. Once the build finishes, your app is live and you'll see the deployment URL.
