Conceptual background: Applications under Core Concepts in the sidebar and Environments under Core Concepts in the sidebar.

• A payment method if you will purchase a dFlow Worker Node on the Compute step (see Getting Started).

1. Start the wizardCopy Anchor Link

The first step is labeled Application. The card title is Application Details.

1. Enter Application Name (unique within your organisation; follow in-product validation).
2. Optionally enter Description.
3. Continue. The Application stays draft until the flow completes.

The next step is Compute. A default production Environment is created here; the wizard no longer asks you to name an Environment.

1. Choose dFlow compute and purchase a new Worker Node plan, or select an existing dFlow Worker Node.
2. Wait for provisioning / eligibility checks to succeed, then continue.

4. Step: ServicesCopy Anchor Link

Add or configure Services, then finish so the Application becomes active (see Application lifecycle). You can skip and add Services later from the Application overview.

If you leave mid-flow, the Application list shows Continue setup for draft Applications. You can also remove a draft with Delete draft from the wizard or delete controls on the card. See Archive / delete / manage applications.
