# Run a Warp App

Getting an application running on Fly.io is essentially working out how to package it as a deployable image. Once packaged, it can be deployed to the Fly.io platform.

In this guide we’ll learn how to deploy a [Warp](https://docs.rs/warp/latest/warp/) application on Fly.io.

Warp is a super-easy, composable, web server framework for warp speeds.

Deploying a Warp app on Fly.io happens at the speed of light! With the help of the [cargo chef](https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/cargo-chef), we get great build times and small images.

## *Speedrun*

First, [install flyctl](/flyctl/install), the Fly.io CLI, and [sign up to Fly.io](/getting-started/sign-up-sign-in#first-time-or-no-fly-account-sign-up-for-fly) if you haven't already.

The fastest way to get a basic Warp server on Fly.io is to use our warp template:

```sh theme={null}
git clone --single-branch --branch warp git@github.com:superfly/rust-templates.git warp-app
cd warp-app
fly launch --generate-name
```

## *Deploy a Warp App from scratch*

f you don’t already have an existing Warp application, you can create one with `cargo`:

```sh theme={null}
cargo new warp-on-fly
cd warp-on-fly
```

Then we have to add some dependencies to the project:

```bash theme={null}
cargo add warp
cargo add tokio -F full
```

Now, let's create a simple Warp app in `src/main.rs`:

```rust theme={null}
use warp::Filter;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let hello = warp::path::end().map(|| "Hello from fly.io");

    warp::serve(hello)
        .run(([0, 0, 0, 0], 8080))
        .await;
}
```

This will display a "Hello from fly.io!" message when you visit the root URL.
Take note that we serve the app on port `8080`.

We can confirm everything works fine by running `cargo run` and checking out `http://localhost:8080`.

And with that you can deploy the app!

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cmd theme={null}
  fly launch
  ```

  ```output output theme={null}

  We're about to launch your app on Fly.io. Here's what you're getting:

  Organization: Your Name              (fly launch defaults to the personal org)
  Name:         [app-name]             (derived from your directory name)
  Region:       Amsterdam, Netherlands (this is the fastest region for you)
  App Machines: shared-cpu-1x, 1GB RAM (most apps need about 1GB of RAM)
  Postgres:     <none>                 (not requested)
  Redis:        <none>                 (not requested)
  Sentry:       false                  (not requested)

  Watch your deployment at https://fly.io/apps/[app-name]/monitoring
  ...

  Visit your newly deployed app at https://[app-name].fly.dev/
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This will generate a `fly.toml` file with the configuration for your app and a Dockerfile that uses [cargo chef](/rust/the-basics/cargo-chef).
Refer to the [fly.toml docs](/reference/configuration) for more configuration options.

To deploy a new version of your app, simply run `fly deploy` in the project directory.
