Deploy a Hono app
Run a Hono app as a normal server without adapting it to an edge function runtime. Tokay detects whether the project uses Node or Bun, keeps the process running, and brings it online at an HTTPS URL.

Hono runs on the Node or Bun setup already in the project
You do not need to make a separate runtime decision for deployment. Push the repo or paste the files, and Tokay detects Hono, the Node or Bun setup, the entry point, and the environment variables read by the code.
The app runs on the Workspace's dedicated virtual machine, where streaming responses, WebSockets, and other long lived connections can continue between requests.
Tokay provisions the database or cache the Hono API expects
Tokay creates supported data services from the connections already present in the code, saving you from provisioning and wiring them separately. When the app expects Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis, we create that resource in the Project and supply its credentials through the environment variable the app reads.
Your AI agent can use the detected runtime
A coding agent like Claude Code or Codex can submit the Hono project without converting it to another deployment target. Through Tokay's GraphQL API, it can review the detected Node or Bun setup, provide secrets, deploy the Service, and verify the endpoint.
Point your agent to app.tokay.io/llms.txt for the deployment protocol.
