Components

Airy Core comes with all the components you need to stream historical and real-time data.

Definition

A component is a Helm Chart (a package of Kubernetes resources) that represents a functional unit in an Airy instance.

Component types

Airy Core contains the following components:

• Connectors

  By ingesting all real-time events and continuously processing, aggregating and joining them in the stream, development time can be significantly reduced. Through integrations with pre-built and easily configured connectors, events are consumed from any source, including business systems such as ERP/CRM, conversational sources, third party APIs. Airy also comes with an SDK to build custom connectors to any source.

• APIs to access your data

  An API to access conversational data with blazing fast HTTP endpoints.

• WebSockets to power real-time applications

  A WebSocket server that allows clients to receive near real-time updates about data flowing through the system.

• Outbound webhook integration to connect custom apps

  A destination webhook integration server that allows its users to programmatically participate in conversations by sending messages (the webhook integration exposes events users can listen to and react programmatically.)

• UI: From a control center to dashboards

  No-code interfaces to manage and control Airy, your connectors and your streams.

Installation

For installation purposes Airy Core is packaged in a Helm chart which creates all the necessary Kubernetes resources. However, every component is an independent entity and can be installed or uninstalled separately. Every component is packaged in its own independent Helm chart and belongs to a repository. By default, the airy-core repository is added with the components that can be found under https://helm.airy.co.

You can see all the available components either from the Catalog in the Control center. From the Control center you can also install, uninstall, configure, enable or disable the components.

The following components are part of Airy Core and they cannot be uninstalled:

• airy-controller
