Root App server development

This section shows you how to build your App's server. You'll write code to handle client requests, store data, and manage users. Your code runs in the Root cloud and powers everything behind the scenes.

📄️ Overview

This section covers how to set up and work with the server side of a Root App. You'll see how the project is structured, what tools it uses, and how to run it locally for testing.

📄️ Lifecycle

Your server runs in the Root cloud, and Root manages when it starts, stops, and restarts. This article explains how the server lifecycle works, how to define your entry point, run initialization code, and handle orderly shutdowns.
