Express hosting in Europe
Push your Express app and it runs in the EU as a normal Node.js server, not as functions. No Dockerfile, and no rewrite to fit a serverless model.
$ git push origin main → Faable · build started (Node.js detected) → npm start → Live at https://your-api.faable.link
What you get with Express on Faable
Your server, as you wrote it
Faable installs your dependencies, runs your build step if you have one and starts your app with npm start. Routes and middleware stay exactly as they are.
One rule to follow
Listen on 0.0.0.0 and on process.env.PORT. That is the whole contract with the platform.
Git or terminal
Link a repository so every push deploys, or run faable deploy from your laptop for an ad-hoc deploy.
Connect your GitHub repo, that's it
From repository to running app in minutes. Faable handles the build, the infrastructure, and everything in between.
Connect your GitHub repo
Link your repository in a couple of clicks. No Dockerfiles, no YAML, no servers to provision.
Push your code
Every push triggers an automatic build and deploy. Faable detects your stack and ships it for you.
You're live
Your app goes live with free SSL and autoscaling — ready for production from day zero.
Why Faable?
Intuitive hosting, private networking, and authentication. No complexity, real human support, and your data hosted in the EU.
Zero Ops, Maximum Control
Automatic deployments straight from your repo. No servers to configure, no pipelines to maintain — just push and ship.
Your Data Stays in the EU
Hosted in the EU, with GDPR compliance.
Real Engineering Support
Forget the bots. Talk directly with the engineers who build and run the platform.
Express on Faable: common questions
Do I need a Dockerfile to host Express?
No. Faable detects Node.js from your package.json. Add a start script and listen on process.env.PORT. A Dockerfile is an option on Hobby and Pro.
Does Express run as serverless functions?
No. Your app runs as a server process, so it keeps working as it does on your laptop. It sleeps when idle and wakes on the next request.
Can I host a Express app for free?
Yes, with no credit card. The Free plan runs each app on 0.6 vCPU and 512 MB of memory, and the app sleeps after 30 minutes without requests and wakes on the next one. Hobby is 15 € a month.
Where is my app hosted?
In the EU, with GDPR compliance. Your app is served at <app>.faable.link with free SSL, and you can add your own domain on any plan.
Ship your first deploy
Connect your repo, push, and watch it go live — with Zero Ops, your data hosted in the EU and real human support behind you. Free to start, no credit card required.
