Get Started with App Builder
This series of tutorials will show you how to:
Align App Builder's development stages - build, deploy and test, publish - to your own development process
Arrange access and secure the necessary credentials, set up your local environment, and collect the tools you'll need
Write, deploy, and test your app
Troubleshoot your app and correct common error conditions
Customers with currently deployed Adobe I/O Runtime actions they wish to convert into App Builder applications should consider this shortcut.
Overview
Here's a high-level view of the process by which you'll build and launch your first App Builder app:
Build
Start in the Developer Console:
Create a new project
Add credentials for the Adobe APIs you want to use in your app, for example Adobe Campaign
Define the sandboxes you need: development, staging, and production
Once the project is in place, set up the local development environment. This allows the Command Line Interface (CLI) to use the project, deploy the code to the right environments, and help with scaffolding the application. Based on what you are trying to create, you can use one of the available templates to generate code for the client side and microservices for the backend.
Deploy and test
Now that there is something to run, use the CLI to deploy the app into the sandbox, or into a GitHub-based CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipeline for tighter control over the production environment. This pushes the microservices to I/O Runtime and static HTML, JS, CSS, and image files to the CDN.
You can now run the application in the context of Experience Cloud and simulate end- user interactions with the app. Since the application is not yet published, end users will not be able to see it and only the developers can interact with it.
Publish
Once you are ready to share the application with end users, initiate the publish process from the Developer Console. After Admin approval, authenticated business users will be able to find your new app in Adobe Experience Cloud and use it.

First, we'll review the access permissions, credentials, local environment, and tools you'll need for your App Builder app: Set up.
