Workload concept

A Workload can be described as one or more applications, systems, or solutions fulfilling specific business goals. In some cases, those terms can be used interchangeably. An application / system / solution is composed of services, where a service is the smallest independently deployable and managed unit performing an isolated set of business functions.

Prerequisites

To be successfully integrated with CG DevX workload, all of an application's services should:

• Be single process, or managed by a single process
• Be stateless (we do not recommend putting workloads working with or storing business-critical data that require strong consistency), meaning
  • No in memory state that cannot be recovered/restored/recalculated
  • No local file system/storage that cannot be recovered/restored/recreated
• Support graceful shutdown
• Be packed in a container according to guidelines regarding:
  • Base image
  • Log streams
  • Metrics exposure
  • Liveness/readiness probes
  • Config is stored in the environment

What's included

Workloads created by CG DevX come with complete CI/CD processes including automated builds, container build & publishing, linting templates, integration with different test frameworks, GitOps definition and deployments, and version and release management. CG DevX saves time, doing all the heavy-lifting by handling all the integrations, and all you need to do is to fine-tune templates to your specific needs.
