Plotly Cloud

Plotly Cloud hosts your Dash apps. Publish from the terminal, share with a link, and manage everything from the web interface.

Publishing

There are three ways to publish a Dash app to Plotly Cloud:

• Cloud UI — Upload files at cloud.plotly.com.
• Dash dev tools — Publish directly from a running Dash app in debug mode.
• CLI — Publish from the terminal with plotly app publish.

Managing Apps

Once published, you can manage your app from Plotly Cloud:

• Revisions — Each publish creates a numbered revision. If a new revision fails to build, Plotly Cloud serves the last working revision so your app stays available.
• Environment variables — Set variables that are applied at runtime in the live app environment.
• Logs — View build and runtime logs for any revision. Logs are available for approximately 7 days.
• Sharing — Set apps to private (team members only) or public (anyone with the link), with granular per-member permissions.

Teams

Teams group apps and manage member access. Members can have one of two roles:

• Creator — Can manage apps and team settings.
• Viewer — Read-only access to team settings and apps.

CLI and Automation

• Configuration — Configure the CLI and the plotly-cloud.toml project file.
• Reference — All CLI commands and options.
• API Keys — Create API keys for programmatic access.
• CI/CD — Automate deployments from CI/CD pipelines.
• AI Agents — Use AI coding agents to build and deploy Dash apps.
