Services

Overview

Services hold configuration shared by several applications. If applications A and B use the same database, extract the database into a service: when its settings change, update the service once instead of hunting through every application.

Fields

• Name: a service is a set of configuration values, e.g. Order DB or Redis.
• Identifier: unique, letters, digits and underscores; used as the prefix of the generated keys.
• Description: optional.

Click Config to manage the values of the service, see Configuration.

Notes

• Extract settings shared by several applications into services.
• Service values cannot be fetched directly; they are only exposed through the applications that depend on the service (set under Dependencies in application management).
