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, domains, 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 domains and 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 domain¶
The main domain for the whole app instance. The main domain 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 domain¶
The default domain 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.
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.
Stack¶
The blueprint from which an app is created.
Stack revision¶
A 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.
