title:Manage an Application on Deis
description:First steps for developers using Deis to deploy and scale applications.

Manage an Application

Deis includes many tools for managing deployed :ref:`Applications <application>`.

Scale the Application

Applications deployed on Deis scale out via the process model. Use deis scale to control the number of :ref:`Containers <container>` that power your app.

$ deis scale web=8
Scaling processes... but first, coffee!
done in 20s

=== peachy-waxworks Processes

--- web:
web.1 up (v2)
web.2 up (v2)
web.3 up (v2)
web.4 up (v2)
web.5 up (v2)
web.6 up (v2)
web.7 up (v2)
web.8 up (v2)

Scaling is managed by process types like web or worker defined in a Procfile in the root of your application repository.

Note

Docker applications can use the cmd process type to scale the default container command.

Administer the Application

Deis applications use one-off processes for admin tasks like database migrations and other commands that must run against the live application.

Use deis run to execute commands on the deployed application.

$ deis run 'ls -l'
Running `ls -l`...

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   25 Dec  2 23:59 system.properties
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Dec  3 00:00 target

Share the Application

Use deis perms:add to allow another Deis user to collaborate on your application.

$ deis perms:add otheruser
Adding otheruser to peachy-waxworks collaborators... done

Use deis perms to see who an application is currently shared with, and deis perms:remove to remove a collaborator.

Note

Collaborators can do anything with an application that its owner can do, except delete the application itself.

When working with an application that has been shared with you, clone the original repository and add Deis' git remote entry before attempting to git push any changes to Deis.

$ git clone https://github.com/deis/example-java-jetty.git
Cloning into 'example-java-jetty'... done
$ cd example-java-jetty
$ git remote add -f deis ssh://git@local.deisapp.com:2222/peachy-waxworks.git
Updating deis
From deis-controller.local:peachy-waxworks
 * [new branch]      master     -> deis/master

Troubleshoot the Application

Applications deployed on Deis treat logs as event streams. Deis aggregates stdout and stderr from every :ref:`Container` making it easy to troubleshoot problems with your application.

Use deis logs to view the log output from your deployed application.

$ deis logs | tail

Limit the Application

Deis supports restricting memory and CPU shares of each :ref:`Container`.

Use deis limits:set to restrict memory by process type:

$ deis limits:set web=512M
Applying limits... done, v3

=== peachy-waxworks Limits

--- Memory
web      512M

--- CPU
Unlimited

You can also use deis limits:set -c to restrict CPU shares. CPU shares are on a scale of 0 to 1024, with 1024 being all CPU resources on the host.

Important

If you restrict resources to the point where containers do not start, the limits:set command will hang. If this happens, use CTRL-C to break out of limits:set and use limits:unset to revert.

Isolate the Application

Deis supports isolating applications onto a set of hosts using tags.

Note

In order to use tags, you must first launch your hosts with the proper key/value tag information. If you do not, tag commands will fail. Learn more by reading the machine metadata section of Fleet documentation.

Once your hosts are configured with appropriate key/value metadata, use deis tags:set to restrict the application to those hosts:

$ deis tags:set environ=prod
Applying tags...  done, v4

environ  prod
