This feature is for Early Access Program customers only

Accelerate is only available to members of LaunchDarkly's Early Access Program (EAP). If you want access to this feature, join the EAP.

Overview

This topic explains how to work with applications in Accelerate.

Applications are a part of your code base for which you want to track deployments. Applications often correspond to a single repository in your version control system. However, if you are using monorepos, then a single repository may contain several applications. Generally, if you independently deploy a codebase or portion of a codebase, it's considered an application in Accelerate.

Creating applications

Applications are created automatically when you send a deployment event to Accelerate. Deployment events must include the application key and version. If the application key does not correspond to an existing application, Accelerate will create a new application for you using that key.

To learn how to send a deployment event to Accelerate, read Deployment events API.

Editing applications

You can change the display name or description for an application. The application key cannot be edited.

To edit an application:

Find the Filter applications menu either on the Overview page or on any of the metric view pages.
Select "Manage applications" from the bottom of the menu. The Applications list appears.

Select the application you want to edit from the list. The Edit application page appears:

Edit the Name or Description.
Select Save application.

Deleting applications

To delete an application:

Find the Filter applications menu either on the Overview page or on any of the metric view pages.
Select "Manage applications" from the bottom of the menu. The Applications list appears.
Find the application you want to delete in the list.
Click the overflow menu and choose "Delete application."
Click Delete on the confirmation dialog to confirm deletion of the application.
