Peliqan supports two types of apps that can be built and deployed on Peliqan infrastructure:
| Data app | Vibe coded web app | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Single file script | Multi-file project |
| Coding language | Python | Any language & framework |
| Front-end (UI) | Streamlit | Any framework (React…) |
| Use cases | Automations, Data visualizations, Set up Data APIs, custom MCP servers… | Build any rich web app |
| IDE (coding editor) | Peliqan Data App editor | VScode (or any other IDE) |
| Complexity to write, deploy, run | Simple | Moderate |
| Execution environment | Peliqan Data app VMs | Peliqan Machines (VMs) |
Peliqan Machines allow you to host your vibe coded web apps on Peliqan. These VMs are the next generation deployment environment from Peliqan.
Compared to traditional Data Apps, vibe coded apps running on Peliqan Machines provide endless flexibility to build & deploy any type of app.
In Peliqan, in the left menu pane, go to Peliqan Machine:

Click on the button “+ New machine” in the right top corner. Enter a name and short description. Based on the description, Peliqan AI will scaffold a boilerplate web app.

Wait for the machine to be provisioned.

When the machine is ready, click on the button “Connect your agent” in the right top corner and follow the instructions:
instructions.md file for your coding agent (e.g. Claude Code).
The instructions.md file outlines the high-level sequence of operations for the agent to deploy your code, and it indicates where specific skill files are located within the generated base project files.
