Applications

Application entity and how it groups environments.

An Application

An Application is the top-level product boundary in dFlow. It groups every Environment (for example production and staging) that belongs to the same system you are shipping.

Responsibilities

  • Name and describe what you are building for your team.
  • Hold a default environment for new work.
  • Act as the scope for settings that should stay consistent across stages unless you override them lower down.

Relationship

An Application owns one or more Environments. Each environment then hosts Services that run your workloads. Deployments are releases of those services.

If you still use the older hub, compare it to this model in Legacy Projects vs Applications.
