A module is the core primitive in Ravion for both tracking and managing your services and supporting infrastructure. A module’s definition determines which capabilities its instances have — a Terraform stack, build config, deploy manager, and so on: For example, our VPC Network module has only a stack. But the ECS Web Server module has all of the above capabilities. For how modules relate to stacks, deploys, and pipelines, see Core concepts. By default, you have access to the Ravion standard library of module definitions. You can see the available module definitions via the Catalog page in the dashboard or via the /module-definitions endpoint. You can also create your own module definitions.

Module hierarchy

Catalog is used to refer to the module definitions available to your organization. These include the Ravion standard library of modules with type rvn-* and any custom modules you’ve added. Module definitions are versioned with semver, and each module instance is an instance of a specific version.
