Managing Applications

Applications are the core entities in RuntimeHQ. Once registered, you can manage their operational state, configure user-facing capabilities, and retrieve the keys needed to integrate with our SDKs.

Application Capabilities

Capabilities represent specific user-facing modules or business operations mapped to your application (e.g., payments, claims, transfers).

From the Overview tab of any Application Details page, you can:

• Add Capabilities: Declare new modules that you want to track independently.
• Archive Capabilities: Safely deprecate capabilities without losing historical data.

Note: Capability names are used directly by the SDKs for state evaluation. Keep them short, crisp, and avoid special characters.

Integration & Runtime Keys

The Integration tab provides access to your Runtime Keys. These keys have a strictly read-only scope for the application's runtime operational state and are safe to expose in public or browser environments.

• Production Key: Used for live environments.
• Non-Production Key: Used for staging, testing, and local development.

Non-Production Simulation

To test how your application reacts to outages without affecting production, you can use the Non-Production Simulation State. This allows you to override the operational state (e.g., force a Degraded or Outage state) exclusively for clients using the non-production key.
