Service/App deployment with Monday code

Hi everyone,

I’m a software developer and I’ve built several apps for my clients that could potentially benefit other Monday users. Initially, I considered deploying my service on AWS, but then I discovered Monday Code, which seems like a great option.

I have a couple of questions:

  1. Does Monday charge for hosting services on the Monday Code platform? I couldn’t find any information on this in the documentation.

  2. My service retrieves data from a client’s workspace, integrates with a third-party API, and updates the workspace. The service uses an API key to interact with the third-party API—where should this API key be stored when using Monday Code? (security wise…)

  3. How can I make my Monday Code service more generic, so that other clients who wish to integrate with the same third-party API can use their own API keys? (I plan to publish my app on the marketplace soon.)

  • Right now, deploying an app with Monday Code is free, and that’s expected to stay that way for a while. Just keep in mind that Monday Code doesn’t offer the same flexibility as something like AWS. It’s fully serverless, so you can’t switch it to another setup.
  • Monday Code comes with built-in storage options—both standard and secure key-value storage. You can check out the details here. If you prefer, you could also use something like Redis for more control over your data.
  • Not sure which third-party service you’re using, but one idea is to have users create their own API key with that service. You could then store it securely for your app’s access.

Yes. Thats exactly what I did. Thanks for your response :smile:

Something to remember with the marketplace is no data can be stored outside of monday-storage (secure or otherwise) so you can’t really use redis and get the badge for using monday code.
