# Start an application's server process.

This function starts an application's server process.

Important:

  This function only applies to applications in the server
  category. Calling it on a static application fails with the
  invalid_category error category. It also requires the
  application to have finished at least one deploy; calling it
  before then fails with the not_deployed error category.
