To build a Swell app, follow the structured five-gate development cycle: Explore, Schema, Author & Validate, Deploy & Verify, and Test. This process covers data modeling, UI configuration, and serverless functions.

The Swell app architecture defines specific file system contracts for managing data models, content, settings, and serverless functions. Adhering to this structure ensures robust application creation and proper CLI operations.

To add a custom product field and admin UI in Swell, define the data model, create the corresponding content configuration, and validate the changes before deploying through the CLI.

Yes, Swell app development supports serverless functions, webhooks, and notifications. The workflow details resource management for these components within the app's file structure and deployment strategy.

Swell app development relies on CLI commands to execute the five-gate development workflow, enabling you to author, validate, deploy, and verify changes to data models and serverless functions.

You should use the five-gate development cycle whenever creating or modifying Swell apps to ensure adherence to structured architecture, proper data modeling, and thorough testing before deployment.
