Instance Store

The Instance Store in Ascend.io is the storage holding all metadata associated with your Instance. It manages operational data, configurations, states, and project-specific metadata, ensuring reliable maintenance of your Ascend instance.

Key Features

The Instance Store holds critical metadata that drives the behavior of an Ascend instance, including:

• Execution Logs: Logs of data processing tasks, including timestamps, status messages, and error details. These logs are essential for debugging and performance monitoring.

• Performance Metrics: Tracks metrics like execution time, CPU and memory usage, and data throughput. These metrics help optimize data workflow performance.

• Audit Trails: Records actions within the data plane, such as data access, modifications, and user activities. Audit trails are crucial for security and compliance, providing a history of actions taken.

• Data Lineage: Details the origin and transformation of data through the pipeline, helping track data flow, transformations, and ensure data integrity.

• Configuration Metadata: Stores configuration details of data processing components like Read Connectors, Transforms, and Write Connectors, including parameters and settings.

• Operational Metadata: Includes information about the operational context of tasks, such as data plane configuration, compute resources, and storage locations, aiding in infrastructure management.

Persistence and Reliability

The Instance Store provides reliable storage that retains your metadata, ensuring consistent access to all operational data. This supports the continuity and stability of the Ascend platform as configurations evolve.
