* **Develop**: Developers can code in Java and debug using their favorite IDE by simply attaching to a Vault in the cloud. There is no need to learn a proprietary programming language or use unfamiliar development tools.

* **Upload**: Developers or Vault Admins can easily upload source code to Vault with a familiar tool used in configuration migration. Source code is stored in Vault as metadata which is easily migrated from Sandbox to Production Vaults.

* **Deploy**: Once the source code is uploaded, it is compiled and loaded in real-time. Custom logic is applied immediately. Developers and Admins can use the *Debug Log* to monitor and troubleshoot issues in the deployed code, and both the *Admin UI* and Vault API to manage deployed code.
