Guides

Setup guides

Practical, copy-and-paste setup for running Understudy the way you need it, on your machine or deployed to the cloud. Each guide runs the same locally and in the cloud.

Store data in a local folder

The simplest store, included in the box. Your data is just files on disk, perfect for solo work on your own machine.

Run on Azure Functions

Run Understudy as one stateless Azure Function, with Azure Blob for state. The same file runs locally on Azurite and deployed in the cloud.

Run on AWS Lambda

Run Understudy as one AWS Lambda behind a Function URL, with Amazon S3 for state. Develop locally, then deploy the same handler.

New here? Start with the five-minute setup, then come back to wire up the host and store you want.
