Creating a new application

This section guides you through creating a new application in the NOUMENA Cloud portal.

Steps

1. Log in to the Noumena Cloud Portal

2. Select your tenant from the dropdown if it is not pre-selected

3. Click on the Create application button

4. Configure your application:

   • Enter a unique, descriptive Application Name
   • Select the latest engine version from the dropdown menu
   • The Identity and Access Management field points to the default IAM provider on NOUMENA Cloud. Changing the existing setting is only relevant if you intend to use another IAM provider.
   • Click on Create application

   

5. Wait for application provisioning to complete.

   This process usually takes 3-4 minutes as the platform provisions your application environment, database, and identity services.

   

6. Once completed, you'll see your application dashboard with tabs for Overview, Services, and Settings

What's Being Created

When you create a new application, NOUMENA Cloud provisions:

• A dedicated runtime environment for your NPL code
• A Keycloak instance for identity and access management
• A PostgreSQL database for protocol state persistence

Additionally, NOUMENA Cloud allows you to use additional services like:

• A blockchain connector to interact with the Ethereum and Stellar blockchains
• An nginx container for hosting a static frontend to interact with the runtime via a UI

Next Steps

Once your application is created, proceed to upload your NPL code.
