Learn how to create an app using the all new Boltic console.

info

Before you begin, make sure you have a Boltic account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a free account at boltic.io.

  • Log in to the Boltic console.

  • Select the appropriate organization to which you want to add the app. If you don't have an organization, you will be prompted to create one.

  • Head to the Compute section in the sidebar.

  • Click on the Serverless tab.

    Serverless Landing Page

  • Click Create serverless.

  • There are multiple ways to create a serverless application as shown below.

    Create new serverless

    Hosted Git​

    • This section allows you to create a serverless application by hosting it on a Git repository provided by Boltic.

      Hosted Git

    • You can connect any of your existing repositories to Boltic by adding a new origin of the hosted repository to it. The instructions to add a new origin are provided in the console.

      Pending Git

    • Builds are triggered automatically when you push code to the hosted repository

    Note
    • The application will be in Draft state until you have pushed your code to the hosted repository powering the application
    • Make sure you have added an SSH key to your Boltic account. You can find the instructions on how to manage keys in the SSH Keys section.
    • Hosted Git is the recommended way to create a serverless application as it provides a seamless experience.

    Use a blueprint​

    • Blueprints are pre-configured templates that you can use to create your serverless application. You can choose from a variety of blueprints based on your requirements.

    • Once selected, you can modify the code as per your requirements.

      Author from scratch

    • This method is useful when you want to deploy small functions without much hassle and development overhead.

    • Builds are triggered automatically when you update the code in the console

    Container image​

    Note
    • Container image currently supports only public repositories and images.
    • Support for private repositories and images will be added soon.

    • If you already have a Docker image in a repository and just want to deploy that, you can skip the building process and go straight to the container image option.
