Alokai Console
Alokai Console is the management interface for running and operating storefront applications deployed on the Alokai platform.
Using the Console you can:
- deploy new versions of your Storefront and Middleware
- monitor instance health and runtime metrics
- configure domains and TLS certificates
- manage CDN behavior and caching
- control security policies and WAF rules
- analyze storefront performance and usage
Platform model
The Console organizes resources into two levels:
| Level | Purpose | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Organization | Global configuration shared across instances | Members, activity log, custom certificates |
| Instance | Operational environment for a storefront | Monitoring, deploy, domains, CDN, security, settings |
