> The anatomy of an App

## Apps

Apps are an organizational unit in Flatfile, designed to manage and coordinate data import workflows across different environments. They serve as containers for organizing related Spaces and provide a consistent configuration that can be deployed across your development pipeline.

Apps can be given [namespaces](/guides/namespaces-and-filters#app-namespaces) to isolate different parts of your application and control which [listeners](/core-concepts/listeners) receive events from which spaces.

Apps are available across Development-level environments by default, and optionally available across Production environments with a configuration option:
