Create

Build custom templates in Canvas UI. Example: Save a Node.js + MongoDB setup.

​
Best Practices

  • Use minimal compute sizes (XS) for templates.
  • Include default .env files for portability.
  • Test templates with public repos for sharing.

​
Deploy

Deploy templates with 1 click. Example: Select “WordPress” and deploy instantly.

Ready-to-use templates

Bult.ai offers 12 pre-configured templates for instant deployment of apps and databases. Access via Canvas UI’s “+Create” > “Templates” menu. Templates optimize setup for indie devs and startups. Details:
  • Deployment: Select template in Canvas UI, configure compute (XS recommended), and deploy in <30 seconds.
  • Customization: Set environment variables (e.g., DATABASE_URL) in “Environment” tab.
  • Volumes: Auto-provisioned (e.g., 0.5GB for PostgreSQL). Basic plan: 2 volumes/project, 10GB total.
  • Monitoring: View logs (7-day retention) and metrics in Canvas UI.
  • Sharing: Create custom templates and share via marketplace (v3, October 2025).
  • Best Practices:
    • Use XS compute for templates to maximize credits.
    • Enable backups for databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) via Cron Jobs (Pro plan).
    • Test templates with public repos for portability.
Example: Deploy WordPress:
  1. Go to Canvas UI, click “+Create” > “Templates” > “WordPress.”
  2. Set compute to S (0.2 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM) and 1GB volume.
  3. Deploy to https://wordpress.fin1.bult.app.
  4. Configure via wp-admin with auto-generated credentials.
