Why Dify
An application platform, not just a flow builder
Dify is the closest thing to a full stack for AI products: prompt orchestration, a RAG pipeline, a dataset manager, tool calling, and a hosted API and web app around whatever you build.

Dify features prepared for a managed deployment.
The visible capabilities come from the verified catalog entry; secrets and signed installer assets remain private to the backend.
Generated stack secrets
Each service in the Compose stack receives its own generated credential.
Tracked Compose services
Every container in the stack is recorded in the backend, not just the entrypoint.
HTTPS routing
A working address with a valid certificate from the first health check, no manual TLS setup.
RAG pipelines
Chunking, embedding, retrieval, and grounded answers are managed as one pipeline.
Model and tool management
Register providers, models, and tools once and reuse them across every application.
What Dify talks to.
A selection of what the upstream project supports. Credentials for any third-party service are yours to add and revoke.

What runs inside a managed Dify deployment.
Dify ships as a Compose stack. Darwa pins the revision, generates every secret, and tracks each service as part of one deployment.
Useful starting points for Dify.
Customer-facing AI apps
Create conversational and workflow applications with a managed API and web interface.
Knowledge assistants
Build retrieval pipelines over approved documents with application-level orchestration.
Internal agent tools
Combine models, tools, datasets, and team workflows inside one controlled environment.
What Darwa runs so you do not have to.
The hosting layer is the same for every agent, which is what makes a one-click install honest.
Verified manifest
Deployments run from a reviewed catalog entry rather than an arbitrary image you have to trust.
Isolated runtime
Each agent gets its own workload boundary, not a shared container with an unrelated website.
Persistent storage
Plan storage is allocated up front so application state survives restarts and releases.
Managed HTTPS
A working address with a certificate from the first health check, with custom domains where supported.
Health tracking
Runtime and resource signals come from the actual workload, so a failure is visible rather than silent.
Subscription lifecycle
Grace, suspension, retention, and restoration follow the plan instead of an untracked server.
Plans that can run Dify.
One AI Agent subscription covers the managed runtime, storage, and endpoint. Model provider usage is billed by that provider.
Live pricing is temporarily unavailable. Dify needs at least 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, and 20 GB of storage.

Launch and track
The backend verifies the manifest, creates the runtime, and records its service and container identities.
Dify questions.
Darwa hosts the open-source application independently; upstream licensing and product behavior remain with its project.
What is the difference between Dify and Langflow?+
Dify is oriented toward shipping a finished application: it bundles a dataset manager, a hosted API, a web app, and usage logging. Langflow is oriented toward designing and testing the graph itself. Teams often prototype in Langflow and productionise in Dify.
Why does Dify need more memory than the other agents?+
It runs several services at once, including a worker and a vector store, and indexing a dataset is memory-intensive. The 4 GB catalog minimum reflects the whole stack rather than a single container.
Can I expose a Dify app to my own users?+
Yes. Each application gets an API endpoint and an optional hosted web interface, both reachable over the managed HTTPS address, with API keys you issue and revoke from the console.
Where do uploaded documents live?+
Uploaded files and their embeddings are written to the deployment's persistent storage, so they survive restarts and releases within the plan's allocated capacity.
What does Darwa manage for Dify?+
Darwa manages the verified deployment manifest, isolated runtime, persistent storage allocation, HTTPS endpoint, health tracking, usage visibility, and paid-plan lifecycle. You manage the agent's models, credentials, tools, content, and decisions.
How do I install Dify?+
Choose Install Dify, sign in, and select an AI Agent plan if the workspace does not already have one. The launch flow keeps Dify selected while you choose its address and start the managed deployment.
What resources does Dify require?+
The current catalog minimum is 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, and 20 GB of storage. Real requirements depend on concurrency, models, document volume, integrations, and enabled features.
Does Dify data survive restarts?+
Darwa allocates persistent storage according to the selected plan. Important application data should still follow the backup and recovery practices required by your business.
Can Dify use a custom domain?+
The application can start with a managed Darwa address. A domain you own can be selected when custom-domain support is available for the launch flow and its DNS is verified.
Is Darwa affiliated with Dify?+
No affiliation is implied. Dify is a third-party open-source project. Darwa provides independent managed hosting and links to the upstream repository for project information and licensing.
