  6. Click/tap on the newly created app to launch the designer

Step #2: Build your data model

The next step is to define the data model of your application.

Step #3: Create your application endpoints and services

Following the data model creation, the next step is to create the endpoints and associated services to access and modify the data.

Step #4: Create your environment and deploy your app

After completing your application data model, service, and endpoint designs, the next step is to create the execution environment and deployment of your app to this environment.

After deploying your application to its execution environment, you can start sending requests to your app's endpoints from your app's frontend or other applications.

Step #5: Test your application and connect it to your front-end application

The final step is to test your application services and connect your back-end to your front-end application.
