Guide 5: Deploying the client app separately

When you deploy the installable cloud app from the PowerBuilder IDE, the client app is by default deployed together with the Web APIs:

  • When deploying to the built-in Kestrel server, the client app is deployed to the wwwroot folder within the Web APIs (for example, %username%\source\repos\salesdemo_cloud\ServerAPIs\wwwroot).


  • When deploying to the IIS server, the client app is deployed side by side with the Web APIs to the same web root.


The client app (as well as the cloud app launcher & runtime files) are static files, therefore, you can also deploy the client app to a file server such as Apache, Nginx, IIS etc.

For how to deploy the client app separately to a file server, refer to Tutorial: Hosting the client app in a file server.
