How do I deploy a Standard environment for my developers

0
Hello there,   My developers are asking to setup a better environment to test an application we are developing. Currently they are using “Free App in Mendix Cloud”. We completed the process to import all the case_data ( ~130K ) in our local setting but it is failing in the sandbox as the free version offers limited resources. I need to setup an environment in Mendix Standard Cloud for us to proceed with testing. I was informed that as an ISV I already have access to the Standard level. I am just not aware on how to transfer the development of an application from the Free environment to the Standard Environment. Thanks for pointing me on the right direction.

Hi Andre!

Great question. I spot a few topics to cover:

  • How do I request a licensed cloud environment?
  • How do I link my application to a cloud node?

Requesting a licensed cloud environment

As an ISV partner, you can request a licensed cloud environment by using the provisioning form that was a part of the welcome email.

Linking an application to a licensed cloud node

After deploying your app as a ‘Free app’ to the Mendix Cloud, it’s possible to link the app to a licensed cloud node by following the steps mentioned here.

You mentioned that you have already started importing case data into your free app, and I can imagine that you do not want to lose your progress. I would recommend creating a backup and downloading it before starting the process of linking your app to a licensed cloud node. Additional information on downloading backups can be found here.

Running your app on a licensed cloud node has advantages in comparison to running your app as a ‘Free app’ on the Mendix Cloud. Details on the differences can be found here.

 

I’m curious to hear if you’re able to continue development with this information.
