Deploy an Express app
Deploy your Express API with the same structure you use today. Tokay detects how the app starts, keeps its Node process running, and brings it online at an HTTPS URL.

Start from the code you already have
Your existing Express setup carries into deployment. Push a repo, connect GitHub, or paste the files. A single index.js with app.listen(...) is enough to begin.
Tokay detects Express and its entry point, finds the packages the code uses, and lists the environment variables it reads. You review the setup and enter the private values only you know. If an API key or another secret appears in the source, we flag it so you can move the value into encrypted storage.
Tokay provides the build and process setup from the code it detects.
Keep the app and its data together
Your API is easier to understand when the server and the services it depends on run as one system. Express runs as a long running Node process on your Workspace's dedicated virtual machine, so WebSocket connections and other ongoing work can continue between requests.
If the app connects to Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis, Tokay creates that resource in the Project and supplies its credentials through the environment variables the code already reads.
Keep each release dependable
Your API stays available while Tokay checks the new version. Health checks run before traffic moves, each release uses a zero downtime rollout, and Tokay restores the working version automatically if the checks fail.
Understand every webhook delivery
You get a clear record of what reached your API and an easy way to test it again. An Express app that receives events from Stripe or GitHub can run as a webhook service. Tokay records each request and provides payload inspection and cURL replay.
Let your AI agent finish the deployment
A coding agent like Claude Code or Codex can carry the API from generated code to a verified live endpoint. Through Tokay's GraphQL API, the agent can submit the source, review the detected setup, set the secret values you provide, deploy the app, and verify that the endpoint responds.
Point your agent to app.tokay.io/llms.txt for the deployment protocol.
