Manage Compute services, their versions, logs, and custom domains.

Location: CLI > service

Use `service` commands to manage the services in a project. A deploy produces a **version** of a service; one version is live at a time. Deploys start from [`deploy`](https://www.prisma.io/docs/cli/deploy) for a Composer app, from a git push once you [set up deploy on push](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/deploy-on-push), or from the [Console](https://pris.ly/pdp). The commands below inspect and manage services and the versions that already exist.

Commands are targeted by parameters, not by ambient state. A command that acts on a service takes the service as its first positional argument (`service show <service>`); the CLI does not read a service from the environment. Scope with `--branch <name>` and `--project <id-or-name>`. There is no interactive picker: a missing target fails with a structured `SERVICE.TARGET_REQUIRED` error (exit 2) before any network call, even in an interactive terminal. Commands targeted by a globally unique version id (`service version promote|start|stop|delete <version-id>`) need no other context.

| `service logs <service>`   | Read logs for a version of the service. Defaults to the live version (`--version-id <id>` selects another). `--tail <n>` sets the line count (default 100), `--from-start` reads from the beginning, and `--follow` keeps polling |
| `service delete <service>` | Permanently delete the service from the branch you target, after confirmation                                                                                                                                                     |

## service version [#service-version]

Use `service version` commands to manage the versions of a service. Versions are created by deploys; these commands operate on the versions that already exist.

| Command                                | Description                                                                                                   |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `service version list <service>`       | List versions of the service                                                                                  |
| `service version show <version-id>`    | Show a version in detail                                                                                      |
| `service version promote <version-id>` | Promote a version to production by rebuilding with production env vars                                        |
| `service version rollback <service>`   | Roll back production to a previous version (`--to <version-id>`; defaults to the one before the live version) |
| `service version start <version-id>`   | Start a stopped version                                                                                       |
| `service version stop <version-id>`    | Stop a running version                                                                                        |
| `service version delete <version-id>`  | Permanently delete a version and the artifact it holds                                                        |

Promotion rebuilds the version with production environment variables, so configuration changes take effect on promote. Rollback switches production back to an existing version. See [Deployments](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/deployments).

## service domain [#service-domain]

Use `service domain` commands to manage custom domains for a service. All commands take a `<hostname>` argument plus the usual service and project selectors and a `--branch <name>` scope. Domains target the production branch by default. See [Domains](https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/domains) for details.

| Command                            | Description                                                                          |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `service domain add <hostname>`    | Register a custom domain on the service's production branch                          |
| `service domain show <hostname>`   | Show custom domain status and certificate details                                    |
| `service domain wait <hostname>`   | Wait until a custom domain is active or failed (`--timeout <duration>`, default 15m) |
| `service domain retry <hostname>`  | Retry custom domain DNS verification and TLS provisioning                            |
| `service domain delete <hostname>` | Permanently delete a custom domain from the service                                  |
