catalyst-appsail
Catalyst AppSail — persistent backend PaaS with managed runtimes (Node.js, Java, Python) and custom Docker containers. Trigger on 'AppSail', 'persistent server', 'Docker on Catalyst', 'X_ZOHO_CATALYST_LISTEN_PORT', or 'long-running process on Catalyst'. Do NOT use for stateless request/response handlers, event-driven functions, or scheduled jobs — use catalyst-functions instead.

What does this agent skill do?
How It Works
-
Identify the runtime — Managed runtime (Node.js, Java, Python) or custom Docker container.
-
Load
references/appsail-basics.md— for PORT config, environment variables, Dockerfile requirements, and deploy commands. -
PORT rule — Always use
process.env.X_ZOHO_CATALYST_LISTEN_PORT, never hardcodePORTor3000. -
AppSail vs Functions decision — If the user is unsure which to use, apply this matrix:
Catalyst Functions AppSail Code structure Catalyst-specific templates required Any framework, any format, fully independent Use case HTTP handlers, events, cron, Zoho integrations Persistent servers, long-running processes, Docker Billing Per API call Per instance uptime Dependency management Handled by Catalyst You manage all libraries and frameworks
