How Zeabur Auto-Detects and Deploys Your Project

Skip the complexity. Upload your folder, and let Zeabur auto-detect and deploy your project in under 2 minutes — perfect for solo makers.

First, let’s give some credit where it’s due: Zeabur’s founder is from Taiwan! 🇹🇼 As someone from the biomedical and tech community, it always feels great to support homegrown tools, especially when they’re genuinely excellent.

Previously, I shared how easy it was to deploy n8n on Zeabur, thanks to their ready-made templates. If you missed that article, check it out here: Perfect way to deploy n8n: Zeabur.

That time, I mostly relied on Zeabur’s existing templates — which made things super smooth. But I always wondered, “What if there’s no template? What if I need to deploy something custom?”

Good news: It’s still ridiculously simple.

Flexible Deployment Options

Zeabur supports multiple deployment methods, including:

• Directly upload your entire project folder locally
• Connect your GitHub repository
• Use their template marketplace

What really impressed me? Zeabur can auto-detect your project type!

If your folder contains HTML, CSS, and JS files, Zeabur automatically knows it’s a static website.

If it detects Node.js files, it understands it’s a backend service and sets it up accordingly.

This is such a game-changer for makers like me — no more worrying about complex configuration files or YAML headaches!

Ultra-Fast Deployment

Another huge plus: every deployment takes less than 2 minutes. Seriously.

Whether I was uploading my static site or testing my Node.js backend for DeepMed AI, deployment was smooth and incredibly fast.

This efficiency makes Zeabur perfect for solo makers or small teams who need to iterate quickly — just like I did for my Product Hunt launch! Speaking of which, if you’re curious about my launch checklist, check out: Launching My AI Project on Product Hunt: Lessons Learned.

Why I Keep Recommending Zeabur

• Supports multiple deployment types automatically
• Fast deployment time (under 2 minutes!)
• No-template? No problem. Upload your folder and Zeabur figures it out.
• Made by a Taiwanese founder — always love supporting local innovators!
• The most improtant point is that, it is super cheap! Currently, with monthly free credit ($5), I only spent < $3 in the past month, even with countless re-deployment and testing.

Whether you’re launching your MVP, running experiments, or just tinkering with your side project, Zeabur keeps things simple and fast.

If you’ve been hesitating about deployment because it feels too “engineer-y,” trust me — Zeabur will surprise you.
