What is an app?

Apps in Cloud Blox are entire, deployable applications. Think of a Ruby on Rails application, a GraphQL API written in NodeJS, or a NextJS application as all examples of Cloud Blox apps.

An app can have many environments like "Staging" and "Production", and can have many processes such as a Web, Worker, Release or Cron process.

In addition, an app can have integrations, such as a database like Postgres, or a cache like Redis.

Apps are the foundation of Cloud Blox, and the cloud-blox.yaml file is what defines the apps your project has.
