Welcome to Cloudgate

On this page

Cloudgate brings workflow APIs, web apps, identity, and operational tools into one workspace. Build a backend on a visual canvas, connect it to an app, and follow each request through its execution history.

Start with the result you need#

You want to…	Start here
Expose an API endpoint	Build your first API
Connect an existing service	Connect an external API
Create an application	Publish your first web app
Add login and user access	Set up identity
Run work on a timer	Build a scheduled worker
Investigate a failed request	Troubleshooting

How the pieces fit together#

A controller groups related API routes. An action defines a route and HTTP method. Its workflow is the graph of nodes that handles the request: validate input, call another service, query data, make a decision, and return a response.

Web apps consume those APIs. App users sign in through the Identity Provider. Logs, metrics, tests, and support tickets help you operate what you build.

Work in a draft, release deliberately#

Use sandbox routes while developing and review a release before sending production traffic to a new version. Sandbox selects workflow and resource configuration; it does not guarantee that every connected service or account is isolated. Choose test resources explicitly.

The Hub adapts to your permissions and enabled features. If a screen is missing, check your role and account configuration with your workspace administrator.

Continue with the API quickstart, or use the Hub map to find a tool.
