Builder

The Builder is the interactive heart of the platform, where you visually design, configure, and monitor your application architectures in real-time.

The Builder is a powerful visual interface where you bring your application stacks to life. It provides a drag-and-drop canvas for adding applications, connecting them, and modifying their configurations. This tool is designed to give you a complete, holistic view of your workspace, from high-level architecture down to real-time application logs.
