Services

Services are docker images that you run on a compute backend. They can be batch jobs or long-lived servers that listen on ports for user traffic.

Services are added to all Release Channels in an application by default to maintain the uniformity of your application.

Characteristics of services

• Services are specified by a "Docker Image"
• Services have environment variables passed into them (overrides Release Channel and Application)
• Services have per service secrets (overrides Release Channel and Application)
• Services have capacity controls (overrides Release Channel and Application)
