Question 1

Is Shuttle free for production use?

Accepted Answer

Shuttle offers a free tier for development, but production usage may have limits or require paid plans; check their pricing page for specifics on scalability and costs.

Question 2

Shuttle vs Docker for deploying Rust apps?

Accepted Answer

Shuttle abstracts away Docker and infrastructure management for faster deployment, while Docker provides more control and portability at the cost of setup complexity. Choose Shuttle for simplicity, Docker for flexibility.

Question 3

How to add a Redis cache to a Shuttle project?

Accepted Answer

Use the shuttle-redis crate by adding it as a dependency and annotating your main function with the resource, similar to the PostgreSQL example in the README.

Question 4

Can I use custom domains with Shuttle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Shuttle supports custom domains and automatic SSL certificates through integrations like Let's Encrypt, as documented in their production deployment guides.

Question 5

What happens if I need to migrate away from Shuttle?

Accepted Answer

Migrating can be challenging due to platform-specific abstractions; you'll likely need to rewrite infrastructure code and manually export data to adapt to another provider.

Question 6

Does Shuttle support serverless functions or just full apps?

Accepted Answer

Shuttle primarily deploys full Rust applications, but it can handle serverless-like patterns through its resource provisioning and scaling features, though it's not a pure serverless platform.
