Purchasing Commercial Instances
Huawei Cloud Astro Zero's free edition offers limited resources. For commercial development, consider the standard and professional editions. The professional edition can be downgraded to the free edition, but this will restrict access to the runtime environment.
- Standard: applies to no-code application development. No coding experience is needed. This edition is ideal for enterprises. For details about how to purchase a standard instance and use the no-code capabilities, see User Guide (No Code).
- Professional: offers a low-code runtime environment (shared among tenants) and more functions and resources, building on the standard edition. It is designed for professional developers.
- Use the IAM user created in Creating a User and Authorizing the User to Use Huawei Cloud Astro Zero to purchase a standard instance.

It takes several minutes to create an instance. After an instance is provisioned, the platform presets a default subdomain name for the runtime environment. The default domain name is used when the platform uses background tasks such as to-do tasks and email reminders. The default domain name can be accessed through the system parameter sys_portal_url in flows, scripts, and connectors. Enterprise members can also use this domain name to log in to the application.
