Planned components

A planned component is considered to be used whenever it is not yet clear how to implement a single microservice, but it is already decided that this component will be needed later. Therefore, planned components should be seen as a placeholder that can later be replaced either by

  • creating a Service Project in case you want to implement the component on your own
  • choosing an Existing Component from the component repository and setting a version to deploy
⚠warning

If you choose to replace a planned component with a service project you can only use this service project as a component of the application as soon as you released at least one version of it. An application composition project can only use components that are already in the component repository.

To add planned component you can click on "Add Planned Component" Button. You will then be prompted to provide the following information:

  • Component Name (required)
  • Tags (optional)
  • Icon (optional)
  • Description (optional)

Click on "Add" to add the planned component.

💡tip

If you're working with multiple planned components we recommend providing extensive description, so you have proper information regarding the requirements when creating a service project to implement this component.
