Welcome to Corva Dev Center! Whether you are a new developer or an experienced developer, Corva Dev Center is a place where you can build exactly what you want, fast.

What is Corva Dev Center?​

The Dev Center is a feature in Corva that enables developers to build, deploy and host frontend and backend web applications without managing architecture. The Dev Center supports Javascript and Typescript for frontend web applications. The backend applications support Python and Javascript. It offers auto-scaling and high availability, supports both Windows and Linux, and enables automated deployments from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or any Git repo. Learn how to use Dev Center with our tutorials or get started with one of our sample application repos.

What supplemental tools and documentation do I need to build apps in Corva Dev Center?​

API​

Corva has two API libraries. The Corva Platform API is what Corva is built on. This is what Corva internal developers used to bring data into the Corva apps.

The Corva Data API is Corva’s newer API library. This library is what Corva’s SDK is built on and is what is recommended by Corva for Dev Center developers.

  1. Corva Data API Specs - a specification of operations for Corva’s Data API
  2. Corva Data API Testing Tool - an interface tool that makes Corva Data API requests
  3. Corva API Documentation - a documentation website for API users

How do apps in Corva work?​

Apps which display useful data in the Corva platform consist of one or many Backend apps (algorithms) and a Frontend app (visualization). Apps can read from and write to Datasets, datasets can be shared between multiple apps.

What are the kind of apps you can build?​

Apps are categorized by segment of the well including Drilling, Completion and Drillouts. Selecting the segment places the app in the correct appstore so that it's available to the correct Backend streams and users. Each segment may have apps divided into categories like Analytics, Circulation or Directional depending on app purpose.

Category allows your app to be quickly found alongside similar apps in the Corva Appstore. Consider the Segment and Category you want to place your app into when you are ready to publish it.

Completion Segment​

Completions apps are the apps that work for Frac, Pumpdown, Wireline and Drillout operations App Categories: Completion Analytics, Completion Asset, Completion Operational Efficiency, Completion Wireline

Drilling Segment​

Drilling apps are the apps that work for drilling operations App Categories: Analytics, Asset, Directional, Hydraulics, Torrque & Drag etc
