# Templates

#### 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

<u>Deploy</u> 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](https://wordpress.fin1.bult.app).
4. Configure via wp-admin with auto-generated credentials.
