An Application

is the workspace container for everything you ship as one product: Environments (stages), Services (workloads), and their Deployments. In the dashboard, you open Applications from your organisation context, then work inside a single Application’s tabs (Overview, Environments, Settings).

Start with the conceptual map in Applications under Core Concepts in the sidebar and How dFlow is structured under Core Concepts in the sidebar. Environments are explained in Environments under Core Concepts in the sidebar. Each Application owns one or more of them.

What you do inside an Application

• Create and name the Application, then finish the Create New Application wizard (Application → Environment → Compute → Services). See Create an application.
• See status at a glance: the list and overview show badges such as draft, active, and archived. See Application lifecycle.
• Pick where new work lands using the default environment. See Default environment.
• Adjust name and description or delete from Settings. See Application settings.
• Restore or remove Applications that are archived or no longer needed. See Archive / delete / manage applications.

Legacy Projects

If you still use the older Project hub, compare it to this model in Legacy Projects vs Applications under Core Concepts in the sidebar.

Next steps

• Create an application
• Environments (concept) and Create an environment (task)
• Deploy your first app
• Project / application actions (advanced: server actions for Applications, Environments, and legacy Projects)
