Glossary¶
App¶
The top-level application object in Wodby. All app instances of the same app share one stack and app identity, but the app itself is not the running deployment.
App instance¶
One deployed copy of an app. Each app instance is assigned to an Environment (Env) and has its own services, routes, builds, and configuration.
App service¶
One service inside one app instance. An app service is the app-level representation of a stack service for that specific deployed app copy.
Backup preset¶
A reusable backup configuration that stores storage destination settings and can optionally schedule automatic backups.
Demo¶
The temporary Wodby Cloud option for testing. Demo clusters and their applications are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
Endpoint¶
A network entry point exposed by an app service. In practice, endpoints back HTTP routes and published ports.
Environment¶
A named Environment (Env) definition assigned to app instances and other resources. Each Env has a fixed type chosen from prod, staging, test, dev, or feature, and multiple Envs can share the same type.
Integration¶
A configured connection to a third-party service, created from a provider.
K3S¶
A lightweight Kubernetes distribution used for self-hosted clusters connected from your own server.
Main route¶
The main HTTP route for the whole app instance. The main route is always also primary.
Managed Kubernetes¶
A Kubernetes cluster created in your own cloud account through a supported provider integration.
Organization¶
The top-level workspace boundary for users, teams, projects, billing, and shared settings.
Primary route¶
The default HTTP route for a specific app service endpoint.
Project¶
The main resource and access boundary inside an organization.
Provider¶
Wodby's definition of how to work with a third-party service, including fields, kinds, and exposed variables.
Resource owner¶
The organization or project that owns a resource. The owner determines the direct write/delete boundary, while sharing controls which other projects can read or use the resource.
Route¶
An HTTP entrypoint for an app service endpoint. A route matches a hostname and path, then sends traffic to an app service endpoint or redirects the request.
Service¶
Wodby's representation of one piece of software, a Helm-based workload, or a workflow. Most services deploy containers; external services represent software that runs outside Wodby.
Sharing¶
The project access list for a resource. Sharing can grant Read/Use or Modify/Delete access without changing the resource owner.
Stack¶
The blueprint from which an app is created.
Stack draft revision¶
An unpublished version of stack configuration. Stack edits update the draft until it is either published as a stack revision or discarded.
Stack revision¶
A published versioned snapshot of the stack configuration. App instances can be upgraded between stack revisions.
Stack service¶
A service as included in a stack, tied to a specific service revision plus stack-level configuration such as options, settings, links, integrations, and defaults.
Team¶
A reusable group of organization members used to assign project access more efficiently.
Variable integration¶
An integration whose main purpose is to inject reusable environment variables into apps or stacks.
Variable provider¶
A provider that exposes environment variables instead of, or in addition to, infrastructure actions.
Wodby Cloud¶
Wodby's managed Kubernetes offering, created from the new app flow instead of the Kubernetes list.
