Question

I'm new to uipath. I developed a local application, It works fine locally. My question is can I move this application to cloud, I mean the application needs mouse, keyboard, none of that is there.

Answer 1

UiPath and the Cloud

Can you move the UiPath application to the cloud? Not really.

I mean, you have UiPath Orchestrator where you can publish your robot and it hosts your UiPath packages, but the robot itself must be deployed to a Windows desktop, as it uses various Windows and .NET libraries to function.

Server-side UiPath Development

So no, if you think your application can run entirely in the cloud, on a server-side hosting environment, then UiPath automation probably isn't the best way to implement your solution. It might be cheaper and easier to simply use the .NET framework, or even use Java and Tomcat if you really want to do server-side development right.

But essentially the answer is no. The robot has to have a desktop on which to run. UiPath robots aren't designed to run entirely in a cloud hosted environment.
