SciTeX App

Write-once interface for local + cloud SciTeX apps.

SciTeX App provides a unified file storage SDK that works identically whether your app runs locally (pip install) or on the cloud (scitex.ai). Build once, deploy anywhere.

Role in SciTeX Ecosystem

scitex-app is the runtime SDK that apps import at execution time. It provides backend-agnostic interfaces (FilesBackend, ScitexAppConfig, AppValidator) so apps work locally, on the cloud, or self-hosted without code changes.
