What's Sample.app

Sample.app is a hosting platform for static sites. You deploy with the samplex CLI and get a shareable preview URL in seconds.

How it works

You build your project locally—React, Vue, Angular, Astro, Hugo, whatever outputs static files—and run samplex deploy. The CLI compresses your build output, uploads it, and your site is live.

No server configuration. No CI pipelines required. No containers.

What it's good for

• Preview deployments—share work-in-progress with your team or clients
• Side projects—ship a personal site or portfolio without infra overhead
• Documentation sites—deploy static docs from any generator
• Prototypes—get something in front of people fast

What it's not

Sample.app hosts static files only. If your app needs a server (SSR, API routes, databases), you need a different platform for those parts.

That said, most modern frameworks can output static files—check the Framework Guides to see how.

Key features

• Instant deploys—upload and go, no build step on the server
• SPA fallback—client-side routing works automatically
• Preview URLs—every deploy gets a unique https://<slug>.sample.app URL
• CLI-first—everything happens from your terminal
• 100 MB limit—plenty of room for most static sites
