Workloads

With Demeter, you can start building your dApp end-to-end; Demeter provides the full suite of tools to do that but, most importantly, a ready-to-code dev environment to use as a Playground. These environments are designed to maximize developer productivity with a no-setup VSCode development environment that runs on your browser, doing the infrastructure heavy lifting for you and with no need to set up Cabal, Nix, GHC manually.

Start a new Workload

The workloads run in the context of a Demeter (opens in a new tab) Project. A Project can host as many workloads as you need. There is no limit to the number of workloads you can create, and there is no limit to the number of workloads you can run simultaneously.

You can start a new workloads just with a few clicks. First, go to your Projects home page by selecting the Projects button. From the list of Projects, press the open button on the Project you want to create a workloads.

Then select the Create New button.

Here, you can select:

• Workspace: a no-setup VSCode environment in your browser,
• Frontend: a docker container running a frontend with access to the exposed Demeter services,
• Backend: a docker container running a backend with access to the Demeter services, and
• Backend with storage: a docker container with an attached volume running a backend with access to the Demeter services.
