With custom apps you can customize all parts of the model and therefore completely adapt the service to your unique business needs. There are a variety of community apps available that are a great way to get started in a particular problem domain (e.g. vehicle routing, scheduling), in case you don't want to start from scratch.
Custom apps are supported for these languages:
- Go
- Python
- Java
The code of the app can come from a Nextmv template, or it can be your own custom code.
The most important file that needs to be present in the root of the project is the app.yaml
manifest. Here are some example app.yaml
files for different languages.
Please read the section on execution environment for more details.
For a custom app you need to:
- Create the app
- Deploy (push code to the app)
Create the app
To create a custom app, define the desired app ID and name. After, you can use one of the following interfaces:
Console. Go to Console,
Apps
section. Add a new app fromAll
orCustom
tabs. Fill in the fields.Nextmv CLI. Anywhere on your machine, run the following command:
Deploy
Deploying an app means pushing code to it. You must use the Nextmv CLI. Standing in the root of your project run the following command:
This command is used again whenever new code is deployed to the app.
If the app.yaml
manifest specifies a pre-push
command, it will be executed with bash
before the app is pushed to the Nextmv Cloud. This command can be used to compile a binary or run tests.
๐๐๐ The app is ready to be used.
- Run the app remotely: learn how to run your custom app in Nextmv Cloud.
- Experiment and test: learn how to experiment and test your custom app.
- Run the app locally: learn how to run your custom app in your machine, to test it locally.
Delete a custom app
Delete a custom app using the following interfaces:
Nextmv CLI. Anywhere on your machine, run the following command:
Cloud API. Make sure your
NEXTMV_API_KEY
is exported as an environment variable. The API uses Bearer Authentication.DELETEhttps://api.cloud.nextmv.io/v1/applications/{application_id}Delete application.
Delete application, specified by application ID.
