Will Anvil Cloud Deployment be accessible 24/7?

Anvil Q&A
1

Hello everyone!

So I’m just trying to wrap my head around deployment. I have access to different options of servers, most of what is outline here: Anvil Docs | Cloud Deployment Guides.

My app is essentially a search on a couple data tables with some fun ways of showing the data. The goal of this app is to have it hosted at a specific URL as a web app that can be accessed (by those I invite to it) anywhere in the world 24/7. It will be an internal tool for the company I work at.

The way I envision this looking is the user would search for the proper URL, login and then have access to utilize the apps functionality.

My question is, once I set up a cloud server with my anvil app will it be on the web and accessible permanently (what is accomplishing this dependent on)? Also given that I have access to my own servers can I accomplish this with the free anvil plan?

Thank you in advance for your help!

You don’t need to setup your own server. You just make the app, test it, click on the publish button, assign an url and use it. That simple.

If you are ok with an url that is a subdomain of anvil.app and with the Anvil banner, then you can do it with the free plan.

If you want to get rid of the banner and assign a custom domain, then you need a paid plan.

I can confirm that. In effect, “publish” == “deploy on Anvil’s servers”.
