Overview

To view all the application entities and installed packages, refer to the Marketplace > Dataloop Hub > Actions > Manage Installations.

• Package: A Package is a collection of static code with a schema that holds all the Modules, functions, and the code base from which they can be taken. Packages are used to build models or deploy services and refer to an entity that is processed using the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) technology. Packages can be public, global, or specific to a particular Project and are limited to a maximum size of 100 MB.
• Function: Functions are the basic functional units of FaaS. You can define the functions in the class, and when the service is deployed, you can run any of them. Functions are defined within a module, and multiple functions can be an access point to the FaaS.
• Service: A serverless computing service allows users to run code without the need to manage servers or infrastructure. It can also be conceptualized as a deployed package that serves the code. When provided with the matching input for a function, it runs and returns the output.
• Application: An FaaS (Function as a Service) application is a software application that is built using the Function as a Service computing model. In this model, the application's functionality is implemented as individual, independent functions or pieces of code. Each function is designed to perform a specific task and is triggered by events such as user actions, incoming data, or time-based events.
