Deploy Application

The first time you log into the platform dashboard, you’ll be greeted with a brief tutorial that you can access manually through the Help > Tutorial option.

This tutorial gives you a quick overview of the platform and guides you through creating your first environment and deploying your application step-by-step.

You can either follow these instructions or skip the tutorial and proceed with the steps outlined below –

1. Automatic deployment from the application Marketplace

2. Manual deployment via the dashboard

Application Marketplace

You can easily reach the Marketplace from the dashboard to install multiple popular solutions with just one click.

Step 1. Press the Marketplace button located at the top of the dashboard.

Step 2. Discover the solution you need by browsing through the categorized list on the left or by using the search bar at the top.

Step 3. Move your cursor over the application tile and then click on the Install button.

Step 4. Set up your installation preferences (like environment name, alias, region, etc.) and then click Install again.

The platform will handle all the next steps automatically. This includes setting up the necessary environment, deploying your application, installing any required dependencies, establishing connections (like with a database), and configuring settings.

In just a few minutes, you’ll have an application ready to go.

Manual Deployment

If you prefer to deploy a custom application and have control over each stage of the deployment process, follow these steps:

Press the New Environment button located at the top-left corner of the dashboard.

Step 2. The Topology Wizard will pop up, allowing you to set up your environment.

Some key platform features you can adjust using this form include –

• The platform supports various programming languages such as Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, .NET, and Go, as well as the integration of custom Docker containers.
• A diverse range of software stacks.
• Automatic vertical scaling helps keep prices reasonable, while horizontal scaling offers flexibility and reliability.
• Connect your device directly to the internet with a public IP address.

For now, let’s set up one Tomcat application server.

3. Your setup will show up on the dashboard in just a minute.

4. The platform offers various automatic ways to deploy applications, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs.

In this example, we’ll demonstrate how to deploy a basic Hello World application from the archive using the deployment manager found at the bottom of the dashboard.

5. Move your cursor over the project and then click on the Deploy to… button.

6. In the Deploy window that pops up, choose your Environment and then click on the Deploy button to continue.

7. After you see the deployment success message, click Open in Browser to make sure everything is working properly.

8. If your application needs extra settings or doesn’t have a web interface, feel free to use the built-in configuration tools.
