Application Overview

An application is a service system with functions and consists of one or more components.

For details about components, see Component Overview.

For example, the weather forecast is an application that contains the weather and forecast components. ServiceStage organizes multiple components by application, and supports dark launch and quick cloning of applications in different environments.

Figure 1 Application management process

Figure 1 shows the application management process. A component must belong to an application. Before using ServiceStage to create and deploy a component, create an application. If you need to use environment variables instead of code to specify parameter settings during component deployment, you can add environment variables of an application.
