# Apervia

- [Welcome to Apervia](/docs): Apervia runs the apps your team builds on a private, secure platform. Start here.
- Getting started
  - [Put your first app live](/docs/getting-started/first-app): Take an app from Lovable or GitHub and give it a secure address that only your team can open.
  - [The words we use](/docs/getting-started/key-ideas): Apps, environments, builders, teams and approvers, explained in plain words.
- Shipping changes
  - [Update your app from GitHub](/docs/shipping/github-actions): Each change that you push goes live on its own, and you can go back to an earlier version.
  - [Settings and secrets](/docs/shipping/settings-and-secrets): Give your app the values and keys it needs, without putting them in the code.
- Sharing
  - [Publish to a team](/docs/sharing/publish-to-a-team): Let the members of a team open your app. Everybody else stays out.
  - [Add a builder](/docs/sharing/builders): Let another person change, release and open every environment of your app.
  - [Approve a request](/docs/sharing/approvals): What an approver sees, and what each answer does.
- Data
  - [Import from Lovable](/docs/data/import-from-lovable): Copy the users, the tables and the files of a Lovable project into your app on Apervia.
- Running your app
  - [Sleep and wake](/docs/running/sleep-and-wake): An app that nobody uses stops running, and starts again when a person opens it.
  - [Use the CLI](/docs/running/cli): Do from your terminal what you do in the console, or let your AI coding agent do it for you.
