Settings

In your app settings you can specify

Platform Compatibility​

Apps built with Superflow can be multi platform compatible. This is a major feature and helps you to distribute apps cross-platform super fast.

When you build apps for multiple platforms you basically have two options:

  • You build one app that is multi platform compatible
  • You build multiple apps that are each compatible with one (or more) platforms
info

It is important to note, the available options are determined by the lowest common denominator and depend on whether all platforms support a feature. This means that the more platforms are selected, the fewer total options are available for the app.

In other words, when creating a multi-platform app, you need to make sure that all the necessary Functions are supported by all the desired platforms and do not prevent you from integrating important features. If necessary, it can make sense to separate apps for individual platforms so that you can support important features on those platforms that allow you to support them.

Hosting Settings​

In the hosting settings, you can specify the location of your app's database and cloud services. This enables you to optimize data access and minimize latency for a better user experience. Choose from different hosting options to match your performance and data security requirements.

Data Location​

This setting determines where your apps Data Collections and Variables are stored. You can select a primary location for your data and optionally you can choose to enable international read replicas for faster read access around the globe.

  • Performance: Consider your users' main region when choosing your location. When you have international users, read replicas can make your app faster.
  • Compliance: If you need to comply with specific data residency requirements (e.G. GDPR or California Privacy Act), you can choose to host your app in a data center that is located in a specific country or region.

Cloud Location​

Superflow offers global edge hosting for your apps processes to run your app super fast and as near as possible to your users. You can choose the regions where your app is allowed to be executed.

info

In private Beta only two Data Locations are available and there is no support for read replicas yet. Your private Beta app will be hosted on all cloud locations as default. More granular options will be available later.
