Core Concepts 💻 #
The Kuzzle PaaS architecture is based on three logical layers that structure your applications and environments.
🧩 Project #
A Project is the main logical container in Kuzzle PaaS.
It holds one or more environments that belong to the same initiative or product.
Example: a “SmartCity” project can contain a development environment and a production environment.
🌱 Environment #
An Environment is a container that groups multiple applications within a project.
For instance, you can have a staging and a production environment within the same project.
⚙️ Application #
An Application represents a deployed component inside an environment.
You can have multiple applications such as a backend, a frontend, or a custom microservice.
Included Services 🏘️ #
When you subscribe to a Kuzzle PaaS plan, you gain access to a set of integrated services designed to simplify your deployment pipeline.
📦 Package Manager #
Available by default with your PaaS account.
