Introduction

FME Flow Hosted (formerly FME Cloud) is Safe Software’s hosted deployment option for FME Flow (formerly FME Server). Instead of spending time acquiring, configuring, and securing infrastructure, you can launch a production-quality FME Flow in minutes and manage the infrastructure for you.
 

To get started, navigate to FME Flow Hosted and sign up. On signup, you receive $250 of free credit, and you will be guided through launching your first instance.

Workflows are designed using FME Form (formerly FME Desktop), the authoring environment for FME Flow. You simply design your workspace using the FME Form interface and publish it to your FME Flow Hosted instance to start automating and scheduling your workflows.
