Using a Panel App
Every published app appears on the My Panel Apps screen with its Runtime, Status, Slug, and timestamps. The leftmost column opens the app; the pencil and minus icons edit and remove it.
Build Status (Server Apps)
Section titled “Build Status (Server Apps)”A server app’s Status column tracks its build, and the list refreshes on its own while a build is in progress:
- Building… — PlaidCloud is building your repository into a container. The app has no URL yet.
- Ready — the build succeeded. The app’s URL is live and the Open icon appears on its row.
- Failed — the build did not complete. Check the entry point and branch, then edit the app to republish.
WASM apps have no build step and are available as soon as they are published.
Opening an App
Section titled “Opening an App”Click the Open icon at the start of a ready app’s row to launch it in a new tab.
- A server app is served at
https://<your-tenant-host>/serve/<slug>/. - The Open icon appears only once a server app is Ready.
A server app scales to zero when idle. The first request after an idle period spins it up — expect roughly a 15-second wait on that first open, then it responds normally until it goes idle again.
Editing an App
Section titled “Editing an App”Click the pencil icon on an app’s row to edit it. The edit form matches the app’s runtime.
For a server app you can change the name, slug, branch, entry point, CPU, memory, idle window, public flag, embedded-serving domains, and memo. The Git Connection is fixed once the app is created and is shown read-only. Saving rebuilds the app — its status returns to Building… until the new build is ready.
Removing an App
Section titled “Removing an App”Click the minus icon on an app’s row and confirm. Removing a server app tears down its build and deployment; removing a WASM app unpublishes the static file. The app’s URL stops working immediately.
