Go live

Go live is the last step before real customers: it says what, if anything, is left, and what goes live with your app. Once you're live, it's where what you build in development reaches your live app.

The walk

Before you go live

  1. Open Go live to see what stands before going live: each thing left names what's missing and opens the room that does it.

  2. Once nothing blocks you, Go live says so; a thing worth a look — like a domain still unverified — sits beside it, never holding the button.

  3. Open What goes live to see every collection that goes live with your app, and the rule each one keeps.

  4. Choose Go live when real customers are coming: Gemmein Live starts at $50 a month, charged when you press it.

  5. Development stays open after you go live; new collections reach your live app by promotion, from this same page.

After you go live

  1. After you go live, Go live says when it happened, and lists what you've built in development since: new collections, and new fields.

  2. For a new field, say what records already live should show: nothing, or a default that is served to them and never written into them.

  3. Choose Promote to live: new collections arrive sealed and empty, and nothing your live app already has is changed.

What it refuses and why

These are the console's own words when a change can't be saved or a request can't go through.

  • Create a collection

    Going live puts your app in front of real customers, and at least one collection is where their data will live.

  • Verify your domain

    Your live key answers only from a domain proven yours, so no other site can use it.
