Build apps

The path for building an app on Orkestia — sign-in, backend, data, hosting, chat, domain, modules and flags, environments, pricing — in the order you meet them.

An Orkestia app is an Identity app plus whatever you attach to it. Your frontend can live anywhere. Orkestia supplies login, a backend made of compositions, a data plane, and optionally the hosting.

This section is the map. Each step links to the section that holds the detail.

The lifecycle

1. Create the Identity app        sign-in + end-users          → App Enablement
2. Write the backend              compositions, schedules      → Backend
3. Store data                     App Data, ownership          → App Data
4. Go live                        site, processes, Files       → App Host
5. Add realtime                   chat space, Buzz             → Chat
6. Use your domain                CNAME + TXT                  → App Host
7. Gate what each user may use    expose, capability, flag     → Modules and feature flags
8. Run it                         Lumen, backups, limits       → Operate
