TanStack Start is now 1.0, and Start apps deploy on Netlify. SSR, server routes, server functions, and middleware run on Netlify Functions. It’s also what new Agent Runners projects start with by default.

Start a new app

Deploy the official template, or generate your own:

npx create-tsrouter-app@latest --template file-router --add-ons tanchat,netlify

Deploy an existing app

Install the Netlify plugin:

npm install -D @netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start

Then add it to vite.config.ts after tanstackStart():

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import { tanstackStart } from '@tanstack/react-start/plugin/vite'
import netlify from '@netlify/vite-plugin-tanstack-start'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [tanstackStart(), netlify()],
})

Add a netlify.toml with your build settings:

[build]
  command = "vite build"
  publish = "dist/client"

Develop locally against the real platform

The plugin emulates Netlify in your dev server, so you can build against the same primitives you’ll use in production, without the Netlify CLI:

Serverless functions and edge functions
Blobs and Netlify Database
Cache API and Image CDN
Redirects, rewrites, and headers
Environment variables
AI Gateway

Start with Agent Runners

New projects you start with Agent Runners use TanStack Start 1.0 unless another framework is specified.
