How to deploy the Turso Starter Kit with Drizzle ORM template

The Turso Starter Kit with Drizzle ORM template contains the configurations for creating and connecting an edge application to a Turso database via Drizzle ORM.

The deployment of this template creates a GitHub repository containing your project, as well as an edge application and a domain to facilitate your access and management through Azion Edge Platform. It also creates a new database with a new table in your Turso account.

Requirements

• A GitHub account to connect with Azion and create your new repository.
  • Every push will be deployed automatically to this repository to keep your project updated.
• A Turso account with an empty database slot.

This template uses Application Accelerator, Edge Functions, and Edge Cache, and it could generate usage-related costs. Check the pricing page for more information. Database storage and operations could also generate costs directly by Turso. Check Turso’s pricing page for details.

Deploying the template

You can obtain and configure your template through the Azion Console. To easily deploy it at the edge, click the button below.

Setting up the template

In the configuration form, you must provide the information to configure your application. Fill in the presented fields.

Fields identified with an asterisk are mandatory.

1. Connect Azion with your GitHub account.
   • A pop-up window will open to confirm the installation of the Azion GitHub App, a tool that connects your GitHub account with Azion’s platform.
   • Define your permissions and repository access as desired.
2. Select the Git Scope to work with.
3. Fill in the information to setup the application:
   • Application Name: define a unique name for your edge application, which will be the same for the storage bucket and the edge function.
   • Turso Authorization Token: the token used to communicate with the Turso API. It must have writing permission.
   • Turso Organization: the name of your organization at Turso.
   • Turso Group: the group at Turso where the template will launch the new database.
4. Click the Deploy button to start the deployment process.

During the deployment, you’ll be able to follow the process through a window showing off the logs. When it’s complete, the page shows information about the application and some options to continue your journey.

Managing the template

Considering that this initial setup may not be optimal for your specific edge application, all settings can be customized any time you need by using Azion’s platform.

To manage and edit your edge application’s settings, follow these steps:

1. Access Azion Console.
2. On the upper-left corner, select Products menu, the icon with three horizontal lines, > Edge Application.
   • You’ll be redirected to the Edge Application page. It lists all the edge applications you’ve created.
3. Find the edge application related to your template and select it.
   • The list is organized alphabetically. You can also use the search bar located in the upper-left corner of the list; currently, it filters only by Application Name.

After selecting the edge application you’ll work on, you’ll be directed to a page containing all the settings you can configure.

Adding a custom domain

The edge application created during the deployment has an assigned Azion domain to make it accessible through the browser. The domain has the following format: xxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net/. However, you can add a custom domain for users to access your edge application through it.
