Amazon EC2

Deploy your Mastra applications to Amazon EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute).

This guide assumes your Mastra application has been created using the default npx create-mastra@latest command. For more information on how to create a new Mastra application, refer to our getting started guide

Prerequisites

  • An AWS account with EC2  access
  • An EC2 instance running Ubuntu 24+ or Amazon Linux
  • A domain name with an A record pointing to your instance
  • A reverse proxy configured (e.g., using nginx )
  • SSL certificate configured (e.g., using Let’s Encrypt )
  • Node.js 18+ installed on your instance

Deployment Steps

Clone your Mastra application

Connect to your EC2 instance and clone your repository:

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<your-repository>.git

Navigate to the repository directory:

cd "<your-repository>"

Install dependencies

npm install

Set up environment variables

Create a .env file and add your environment variables:

touch .env

Edit the .env file and add your environment variables:

OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
# Add other required environment variables

Build the application

npm run build

Run the application

node --import=./.mastra/output/instrumentation.mjs --env-file=".env" .mastra/output/index.mjs

Your Mastra application will run on port 4111 by default. Ensure your reverse proxy is configured to forward requests to this port.

Connect to your Mastra server

You can now connect to your Mastra server from your client application using a MastraClient from the @mastra/client-js package.

Refer to the MastraClient documentation for more information.

import { MastraClient } from "@mastra/client-js";
 
const mastraClient = new MastraClient({
  baseUrl: "https://<your-domain-name>",
});
