Bun

Introduction

Bun is a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime & toolkit with built-in bundler, test runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager. This guide uses Hono, a lightweight and ultrafast web framework.

Prerequisites

a UNIX-like system (see WSL if you are using Windows), in order to use the Valyent CLI
a Valyent account, with a registered payment method (you can sign up here)
Bun installed on your machine

Installing the CLI

curl -L https://cli.valyent.cloud | sh

You can inspect the installation script here and the GitHub repository.

Authenticating

valyent auth login

Initializing the project

First, let’s create a new directory and initialize a Bun project:

mkdir bun-app && cd bun-app
bun init

Install the required dependencies:

bun add hono
bun add -d @types/bun

Create an index.ts file:

import { Hono } from "hono";

const app = new Hono();

app.get("/", (c) => {
  return c.text("Hello Lambda World!");
});

export default app;

Now, initialize the valyent.toml configuration file:

valyent init

This command will guide you through selecting or creating a project and an associated application.

Adding the Dockerfile

Create a Dockerfile:

touch Dockerfile

Add the following content:

# use the official Bun image
FROM oven/bun:1 AS base
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# install dependencies into temp directory
# this will cache them and speed up future builds
FROM base AS install
RUN mkdir -p /temp/dev
COPY package.json bun.lockb /temp/dev/
RUN cd /temp/dev && bun install --frozen-lockfile

# install with --production (exclude devDependencies)
RUN mkdir -p /temp/prod
COPY package.json bun.lockb /temp/prod/
RUN cd /temp/prod && bun install --frozen-lockfile --production

# copy node_modules from temp directory
# then copy all (non-ignored) project files into the image
FROM base AS prerelease
COPY --from=install /temp/dev/node_modules node_modules
COPY . .

# [optional] tests & build
ENV NODE_ENV=production
RUN bun test
RUN bun run build

# copy production dependencies and source code into final image
FROM base AS release
COPY --from=install /temp/prod/node_modules node_modules
COPY --from=prerelease /usr/src/app/index.ts .
COPY --from=prerelease /usr/src/app/package.json .

# run the app
USER bun
EXPOSE 3000/tcp
ENTRYPOINT [ "bun", "run", "index.ts" ]

Deploy the project

To expose the application’s port, we need to set up a gateway (in this case, the port 3000):

valyent gateways create

Deploy your application to Valyent:

valyent deploy

Then, you can type the following:

valyent open

to open your application in the browser.
