Runtime

The Managed Runtime Environment runs your exported backend on Fimaflow Cloud, without you provisioning or patching a server yourself.

Why a managed runtime

Framework Export gets you a real project you can host anywhere. Runtime is for when you'd rather not host it yourself — no server to patch, no container registry to manage, no runbook for "the box ran out of disk." You keep the exported code as your escape hatch either way; Runtime just removes the operational work of keeping it alive when you don't want to own that.

How it works

Deploying from Fimaflow skips the manual export step: the same project you'd get from Framework Export is built, containerized and started for you, with your workflow's environment variables wired in and a public HTTPS URL assigned automatically.

  1. Click Deploy from the workflow you want to ship.
  2. Pick a target framework, same choices as Framework Export.
  3. Review the environment variables it detected — fill in any that are missing.
  4. Confirm — the build starts, and you get a URL once it's live.

Automatic deployments & previews

Turn on automatic deployments and every change to the workflow redeploys production on its own — the same trust model as pushing to a connected Git branch. Each deployment also gets its own disposable preview environment first, with its own URL, so you (or a teammate) can test the exact build before it becomes what your users hit.

Deployment history & rollback

Every deployment is kept, paired with the exact workflow state it was built from and its own build log. If a deploy goes wrong, roll back to the previous one from the deployment list — instant, no rebuild required, since the previous container image is still there.

SSL by default

Every deployment — including preview environments — is served over HTTPS automatically, on both the default Fimaflow Cloud domain and any custom domain you attach. There's nothing to configure — certificates are provisioned and renewed for you.

Limitations

  • • Available on the Pro plan and above; Team gets higher, dedicated cloud limits.
  • • Runtime resources scale automatically within your plan's limits — it isn't a fixed-size server you can resize manually.
  • • If you need infrastructure Runtime doesn't support, export and self-host instead — see Deployment Overview.
