This guide explains how to configure a Web service as your next service in Revolte, covering both Repo Preference and Environment Settings. Visual references are provided for each step.
1

Choose a Preset

The preset chooser shows a grid of service options. The Webservice tile is highlighted for standard APIs or microservices.
Note: If your service requires a database, you can select the Web Service + Database preset to configure both resources simultaneously.
2

Repo Preference

The Repo Preference tab is identical across all service presets. See Repository Preference for a full walkthrough of each setting.
3

Webservice — Environment Settings

The QA environment tab is selected. Similar to Web Apps, you can define independent resource specifications and properties for Preview, QA, Staging, and Production. This allows you to use lighter resources for development and testing while scaling up for production workloads.The center panel shows the Webservice form for the active environment:
  • Service Name — Enter a unique identifier for this service (e.g., web_service).
  • Entry Point — The main file that starts the service (e.g., index.js).
  • Specifications
    • CPU & Memory — Choose a compute tier for this service. Available options:
      • 1 CPU and 1 GB Memory
      • 1 CPU and 2 GB Memory
      • 2 CPU and 1 GB Memory
      • 2 CPU and 2 GB Memory
      • 2 CPU and 4 GB Memory
      • 2 CPU and 8 GB Memory
    • Storage value — Disk space in GB allocated to the service (e.g., 30).
  • Properties
    • Health EndPoint — The URL path Revolte checks to confirm the service is running (e.g., /health).
    • Port — The port your service listens on (e.g., 8080).
    • Pre Script — Commands to run before the main service starts (e.g., database migrations).
    • Load Balancer Mode — Choose between Shared (cost-effective) or Dedicated (high performance) traffic handling.
  • Insights — Select system metrics to monitor for this environment:
    • Cpu — CPU Idle Time, CPU User Time, CPU System Time.
    • Swap — Swap Usage.
    • Memory — Total Memory Used, Free Memory.
    • Disk — Disk Used, Disk Total, Disk Free.

Variables & Secrets

Configure environment variables and encrypted secrets for your service. See Variables & Secrets for a detailed guide on managing environment-specific configurations.
5

Commit

At the bottom of the panel, fill in the Commit Details:
  • File Name — The configuration file to create or update in your repository (e.g., revolte.yml).
  • Commit Message — A short description of what you configured (e.g., Add web service).
  • Choose Branch — The branch where the configuration file will be committed.
Click Commit to save the configuration to your repository, or Skip & deploy to deploy immediately without committing.
Tip: Always commit with a clear message before deploying to keep a traceable configuration history.
