Verticals

A vertical is a complete application stack defined by a code.json file. It declares which composites to use and typically includes default application code for each — infrastructure and code packaged together. A vertical can include multiple services, a frontend, shared libraries, and configuration, all wired together and ready to deploy.

Verticals are provider-agnostic — they declare composites, not cloud services.

Managing Verticals

• Select — Choose a vertical from the dropdown to switch your workspace to it. On first selection, Nar unpacks the source code into your project folder.
• Import — Click the + button to add a new vertical from a .nar package file.

You can have multiple verticals installed and switch between them at any time.
