## How it works

Applications represent deployable units within your repositories. They connect a repository to its deployments and environments, making it possible to track deployment history and DORA metrics per application.

Applications support **monorepo setups**. A single repository can have multiple applications, each mapped to a subdirectory.

## Creating applications

Applications can be created in two ways:

* **Manually**: Create an application from the UI and configure its deployment settings.
* **Automatically**: When a deployment is sent via the API, Sweetr auto-creates the application if it doesn't exist.

## Deployment settings

Each application has configurable deployment settings that control how deployments are tracked:

| Setting           | Description                                                         |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Trigger**       | How deployments are created: API Webhook or PR Merge.               |
| **Target branch** | For merge-based triggers, the branch that represents production.    |
| **Subdirectory**  | For monorepos, the path within the repository for this application. |

## Archiving

Applications that are no longer in use can be archived. Archived applications are hidden from filters and excluded from metrics. You can unarchive them at any time.
