Learn how to monitor, maintain, and manage your deployed applications
Once you’ve deployed an application on RepoCloud, you’ll need to monitor, maintain, and manage it effectively. This guide covers all the essential management tasks available through the RepoCloud dashboard.
The RepoCloud dashboard provides a comprehensive interface for managing all aspects of your deployed applications.
The instance management dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your deployed applications and allows you to perform common management tasks:
View application status, uptime, and resource utilization
Manage application settings and environment variables
Apply application updates and security patches
Adjust resource allocation based on needs
Configure custom domains and SSL certificates
View application logs for troubleshooting
RepoCloud provides several monitoring capabilities:
Resource tier tracking is particularly useful when using autoscaling, as it helps you understand how resources are being allocated and billed on an hourly basis.
You can control the state of your instance from the dashboard:
Pausing an instance reduces billing to 25% of the normal rate, as some resources remain allocated. To stop billing completely, you would need to delete the instance.
We recommend the following practices for managing your application data:
RepoCloud does not offer dedicated backup services. Backups are only available if they are a built-in feature of the application itself. You are responsible for managing your own data backups.
When you no longer need an instance:
Backup Important Data
Ensure you’ve backed up any important data from the application
Navigate to Instance Management
Go to the instance management page for the application you want to delete
Delete Instance
Click the “Delete” button and confirm the deletion
Instance deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. All data associated with the instance will be permanently deleted.
Different applications offer different management interfaces within the application itself. You can access these through the application’s web interface:
Content Management Systems
Most CMS platforms like WordPress provide admin dashboards for managing content, users, themes, and plugins.
Project Management Tools
Tools like Jira and Trello offer configuration options through their web interface for workflow customization.
E-commerce Platforms
Platforms like WooCommerce and Magento include store management, product catalog, and order processing interfaces.
