Basic Concepts

Account: An account represents a user in the system, and Cuemby Cloud Platform creates an organization by default with the same account name. An account supports the creation of multiple projects and organizations.

Cool Down Period: When you create an application with Cuemby Cloud Platform and set up a rule for scaling, you need to specify how long to wait to scale down when you no longer need to have replicas. In Cuemby Cloud Platform, Cool Down Period is in seconds.

CPU Rule: When you create an application with Cuemby Cloud Platform and set up a rule for scaling, you need to decide on how much CPU consumption is allowed to scale horizontally.

Disk Usage: Persistent storage space allocated to an application.

Environment: An Environment is a space to deploy applications and is associated with a project. In Kubernetes’ terms, it is a namespace. By default, Cuemby Cloud Platform creates an environment when a project is created. An environment has associated resources. A project can have multiple environments such as production, staging, development, etc. Each environment may need to behave differently. For instance, a production environment requires to run all the time while a development environment needs to run during the certain time.
‍
Environments Variables: They are application configuration variables that consist of a key and a value. In Cuemby Cloud Platform, you can add environment variables when you create an application and encrypt sensitive variables.

Instance Type: Capacity of resources assigned to the execution of an application. You can select from extra small, small, medium. Large or extra large. Which are predefined limits and request for CPU and RAM.
‍
Integration: It is to connect Cuemby Cloud Provider to a Git repository service provider for deployment automation.

Logs: They are the console outputs of Runtimes that are running.

Memory Rule: When you create an application with Cuemby Cloud Platform and set up a rule for scaling, you need to decide on how much memory consumption is allowed to scale horizontally.

Metrics: A collection of data on the historical consumption of application resources.

Maximum Replica (Max Replica): Maximum Replica is the maximum number of replicas you want to run when your application is running above the CPU and the Memory rules and needs to scale.

Minimum Replica (Min Replica): Minimum Replica is the minimum number of replicas you want to run when your application is running below the CPU and the Memory rules and does not need to scale.

‍Network: The internal and external traffic that the runtimes are receiving tabulated in time ranges.

Organization: A Workspace where a person or a group of people work together on projects. A user can have access to multiple organizations with a different set of roles and permissions.

Polling Interval: When you create an application with Cuemby Cloud platform, you need to specify how often the platform should be checking if the application is complied with the scaling strategy you have set. In Cuemby Cloud Platform, Polling Interval is in seconds.

Project: A project is a set of activities or services that work together for a common objective. An organization can have multiple projects, and an owner of the organization can control the access of each user to the project. A project has an associated payment method and is able to set up a subscription.

Provider: Each of the Git providers that Cuemby Cloud Platform supports (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).

Repository: A code repository that has an archive of the source code, documentation and other pages. When you create an application on Cuemby Cloud Platform, you need to connect the application with a code hosting service provider. At this moment, Cuemby Cloud Platform offers integration with Github, Gitlab and BitBucket. A repository is connected to a project. A user can choose a repository for Choice of repository (personal or organization).

Resources: A combination of CPU and RAM of the machine that is assigned to a project.

Runtime: It is referred to as a period of time when an application is running. In Cuemby Cloud Platform, a runtime also refers to an environment where an application is design to run within.
‍
Traffic: When you create an application, you will specify whether the traffic is internal or external. You specify if the application interacts with another applications or services internally (internal) or outside the project or organization (external).
‍
User: A person who belongs to a project and executes actions according to their roles and permissions. A user is represented as an account in the system.
