Glossary

Workspace​

Your (git) repository with one or more Contember projects.

Project​

Every project contains Contember Schema definition for your simple website, blog or any other content-based platform or database. Optionally any project can have its Contember Interface.

Instance​

A running Contember Engine server hosting as many Contember projects as you like (and providing their Content API). Each instance has a single Tenant API, so you can store and manage access from a single point.

APIs on a single instance

Content API​

The main GraphQL API for your project. It is automatically generated from your schema definition

System API​

Is a complementary API for your project. Used to manage schema migrations.

Tenant API​

Using this API you can manage users, API keys and project memberships on an instance

Project Schema​

Definition of your model, ACL rules and input validation rules.

Project Schema Migrations​

Chronologically sorted immutable JSON files containing all schema changes. These files are "source of true" of a schema.

Event​

Each operation you make in your data is stored in an event log. This log can be used for history.

Superadmin​

Is a special user role. This user is the most powerful user of a system.
