Backend → Render

Infrastructure as Code

The render.yaml at the repo root defines the backend service:

services:
  - type: web
    name: fluxpay-backend
    runtime: node
    rootDir: backend
    buildCommand: npm install
    startCommand: npm start
    healthCheckPath: /health

Setup

1. Connect the repo in the Render dashboard
2. Render picks up render.yaml automatically
3. Set these secrets in the Render environment:

Health Check

Render uses /health to verify the service is running:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "service": "fluxpay-backend",
  "storage": "postgres"
}
