How do you trigger population of db on startup of app in SolidStart?

That's more like a "how do I use a database" question, not Solid specific. How you do that is really up to you. You can write code in your server entry point that will check if the DB has content, and if not the populate it. Start here where it describes the default files, including the server entry: https://docs.solidjs.com/solid-start/getting-started#project-files and see a description of the server entry: https://docs.solidjs.com/solid-start/reference/entrypoints/entry-server Or you can do a check for existing data in your server endpoints, if you prefer: https://docs.solidjs.com/solid-start/building-your-application/api-routes It's really up to you. It could look like this:

// entry-server.tsx

import { createHandler, StartServer } from "@solidjs/start/server";
import {getDatabaseValue, setDatabaseValue} from "some-database-lib"

const value = await getDatabaseValue('foo')

if (!value) await setDatabaseValue('foo', 'bar')

// continue as before:
export default createHandler(() => (
  // ...Same as before...
))

// entry-server.tsx

import { createHandler, StartServer } from "@solidjs/start/server";
import {getDatabaseValue, setDatabaseValue} from "some-database-lib"

const value = await getDatabaseValue('foo')

if (!value) await setDatabaseValue('foo', 'bar')

// continue as before:
export default createHandler(() => (
  // ...Same as before...
))
