Deploying an App

This guide walks you through deploying an application from the portal.

Prerequisites

• A NextEpoch Cloud workspace
• An application built through the Build Factory (visible in your app catalog)

Step 1: Open the App Catalog

1. Log in to the NextEpoch Cloud portal
2. Navigate to Apps in the sidebar
3. Your applications appear here automatically after being built by the Build Factory

Step 2: Select a Version

1. Click on your application to open its details
2. You'll see a list of available versions (each build produces a new version)
3. Select the version you want to deploy

Step 3: Deploy

1. Click Deploy
2. NextEpoch provisions and starts your application

Step 4: Verify

Check the deployment status in the portal under Apps > your app > Deployments.

Environment Variables

Configure environment variables for your app in the portal:

1. Go to Apps > your app > Settings
2. Add environment variables as key-value pairs
3. Redeploy to apply changes

Health Monitoring

NextEpoch automatically monitors your deployed applications:

• Periodic health checks ensure your app is running
• Unhealthy instances are automatically restarted
• Deployment status is visible in the portal

Next Steps

• Send telemetry from your app to monitor it
