Find an application you’d like to deploy, or clone `an example app`_.
Change into the application directory and use  ``deis create --formation=dev``
to create a new application attached to the dev formation.

.. code-block:: console

    $ deis create --formation=dev

Once your application is deployed, use ``deis scale web=4`` to
scale up Docker web containers to 4, for example.  You can also use
``deis logs`` to view aggregated application logs, or ``deis run`` to run admin
commands inside your application.

.. code-block:: console

    $ deis scale web=4
    Scaling containers... but first, coffee!
