Short answer: not to start, not to get a built and checked application, and not to try it. You may want one for the frontend, and later for going live.

To describe, agree and build

Nobody technical. The conversation, the agreed list, the specification and the checks are all in business terms. LobLogix builds the application and runs the checks.

To try it

Nobody technical. Preview and Stage run on LobLogix hosting, and in Stage you try the application in plain words. See Ask My Backend: try your application in plain words.

To run it

Nobody technical, and no DevOps team. LobLogix operates the hosting for Preview and Stage, prepares each release, applies the changes to stored records, confirms the version is running and shows its health. See How a release works: review, install, verify.

For the frontend

Not necessarily. You can build the screens yourself with an AI coding tool, or have your team, a developer or an agency build them. LobLogix builds the backend they connect to. See Build and connect your frontend and What a developer receives from LobLogix.

To go live, after the alpha

Going live is not part of the alpha. LobLogix is designed for production on infrastructure your company controls. Someone will provide the machines: virtual machines from a provider of your choice, or your own servers. See Going live on your own infrastructure: how it is designed.

If you do have technical colleagues

They start from a specification the business has already agreed, and from an application that has already passed its checks. That saves them guessing.
