Releasing Crowdin Apps

Bu içerik henüz dilinizde mevcut değil.

When your app is ready, you publish it so that other people can install and use it. What that takes depends on where the app runs.

Releasing Self-Hosted Apps

A self-hosted app goes through two stages:

Setting up and deploying the production environment
Distributing it on the Crowdin Store

Setting up the Production Environment

Before releasing, set up separate production and development environments, for two reasons:

Stability: You test changes without risking downtime or the loss of production data.
Security: Only the people who need customer data have access to it.

Each environment needs its own OAuth client, database, and credentials.

A self-hosted app runs on infrastructure you control, so you can host it anywhere that serves it over HTTPS. Crowdin reaches the app at the baseUrl in its app descriptor, so that URL must stay stable once the app is installed.

Apps built with the Crowdin Apps SDK deploy like any other Node.js application. The SDK documentation covers the platforms it supports.

Hosting Your Crowdin App on Crowdin Servers

Crowdin can also host a self-hosted app for you. This is a separate arrangement from serverless apps, which run on Crowdin infrastructure by design. Submit the app’s source code, and once our team reviews and approves it, Crowdin hosts the app.

Each hosting arrangement comes with its own agreement. Apps hosted by Crowdin also carry a Verified by Crowdin badge.

Contact Support Team for details.

Releasing Serverless Apps

A serverless app has no infrastructure of your own to prepare. The Serverless Apps SDK CLI builds the app and publishes the bundle, and Crowdin serves it from then on. While you work on the app, the CLI points Crowdin at a local server instead, so the same modules run against your machine.

Publishing installs the app in your own account. To share it with other Crowdin users, submit it to the Crowdin Store.

Distributing on the Crowdin Store

To publish on the Crowdin Store, Contact Support Team for a developer account. The account lets you publish apps and see statistics such as the number of installations and the app rating.
