terms:
  - term: Snap
    definition: >-
      The fundamental unit of integration in SnapLogic. A Snap is a pre-built
      connector or data transformation component that can be configured without
      coding. Snaps connect to data sources, perform transformations, or call
      APIs. Examples: CSV Parser, REST GET, Salesforce Read, Snowflake Bulk Load.

      - Integration

  - term: Snap Pack
    definition: >-
      A collection of related Snaps bundled together for a specific integration
      target or domain. Examples: Salesforce Snap Pack, Snowflake Snap Pack,
      REST Snap Pack, AI Snap Pack.
    tags:
      - Core Concept
      - Integration

  - term: Pipeline
    definition: >-
      A visual workflow in SnapLogic composed of connected Snaps that process
      and transform data. Pipelines can be triggered via tasks, APIs, or scheduled
      runs. Pipelines run on Snaplex nodes.
    tags:

      - Integration

  - term: Snaplex
    definition: >-
      The execution engine that runs SnapLogic pipelines. A Snaplex consists of
      one or more nodes (Groundplex or Cloudplex) that handle data processing.
      Groundplexes run on-premises or in private clouds; Cloudplexes run in
      SnapLogic's cloud.
    tags:
      - Infrastructure

  - term: Groundplex
    definition: >-
      A Snaplex deployment running on customer-managed infrastructure (on-premises,
      private cloud, or IaaS). Provides data residency, security, and access to
      internal systems that cannot be reached from the cloud.
    tags:
      - Infrastructure
      - Security

  - term: Cloudplex
    definition: >-
      A SnapLogic-managed Snaplex running in the SnapLogic cloud environment.
      Ideal for cloud-to-cloud integrations and use cases where data residency
      in SnapLogic's infrastructure is acceptable.
    tags:
      - Cloud
      - Infrastructure

  - term: Task
    definition: >-
      A configuration that defines how and when a pipeline executes. SnapLogic
      supports three task types: Triggered Tasks (API-invoked), Scheduled Tasks
      (cron-based), and Ultra Tasks (for low-latency, high-frequency execution).
    tags:
      - Execution
      - Integration

  - term: Ultra Task
    definition: >-
      A high-performance task type in SnapLogic optimized for low-latency,
      high-throughput pipeline execution. Ultra Tasks can be exposed as REST APIs
      and downloaded as OpenAPI 2.0 or 3.0 specifications.
    tags:
      - Execution
      - High Performance

  - term: Triggered Task
    definition: >-
      A pipeline task that executes in response to an API call or webhook. Supports
      synchronous and asynchronous execution modes. Can pass input parameters via
      the request body.
    tags:
      - API
      - Execution

  - term: RUUID
    abbreviation: RUUID
    definition: >-
      Runtime UUID. The unique identifier assigned to each pipeline execution
      instance. Used in the Runtime APIs to query execution status, retrieve logs,
      and control execution (stop, resume).
    tags:
      - Runtime
      - Identifier

  - term: Snap Statistics (Snap Stats)
    definition: >-
      Per-Snap execution metrics captured during a pipeline run, including records
      processed (in/out), bytes read/written, and execution duration. Available
      via the Snap Statistics API and Runtime API.
    tags:
      - Monitoring
      - Runtime

  - term: Generative Integration
    definition: >-
      SnapLogic's term for AI-augmented integration that uses generative AI to
      suggest pipeline designs, auto-map data fields, generate Snaps, and assist
      in building integrations through natural language.
    tags:
      - AI
      - Core Concept

  - term: Agent Creator
    definition: >-
      SnapLogic's feature for building AI agents that orchestrate complex workflows
      using LLMs, Snaps, and external APIs. Agents can take actions, call APIs,
      and make decisions based on data retrieved through pipelines.

      - Agents

  - term: Project Space
    definition: >-
      A top-level organizational container within a SnapLogic org that groups
      related projects. Analogous to a namespace or folder hierarchy for managing
      assets across teams.
    tags:
      - Organization

  - term: Project
    definition: >-
      A container within a Project Space that holds pipelines, tasks, files, and
      other assets. Projects can be linked to Git repositories for version control
      and CI/CD workflows.
    tags:
      - Organization

  - term: JWT (SnapLogic Authentication)
    abbreviation: JWT
    definition: >-
      JSON Web Token used to authenticate SnapLogic Public API calls. JWTs are
      generated via the SnapLogic authentication endpoint and passed as a Bearer
      token in the Authorization header.
    tags:
      - Authentication
      - Security

  - term: Asset Catalog
    definition: >-
      SnapLogic's metadata catalog for tracking integration assets (pipelines,
      tasks, Snaps) including custom metadata, data lineage, and asset relationships.
      Managed via the Asset Catalog APIs.
    tags:
      - Governance
      - Metadata

  - term: ACL (Access Control List)
    abbreviation: ACL
    definition: >-
      The permission model for SnapLogic project assets. ACLs define read, write,
      execute, and admin permissions for users and groups on projects and project
      spaces. Managed via the Asset Management APIs.
    tags:
      - Security
      - Access Control

  - term: API Management (SnapLogic APIM)
    definition: >-
      SnapLogic's built-in API gateway and lifecycle management capability that
      allows pipelines to be published as managed APIs with security policies,
      version management, and a developer portal. Managed via the API Management
      Public APIs.
