App Specification

AKA the different ways databuild applications can be described.

Correctness Strategy

• Examples implemented that use each graph specification strategy, and are tested in CI/CD.
• Graph specification strategies provide

Bazel

• Purpose: compilation/build target that fulfills promise of project (like bytecode for JVM langs)
• Job binaries (config and exec)
• Graph lookup binary (lookup)
• Job target (with working exec binary)
• Graph target
• See core build for details

Python

• Wrapper functions enable graph registry
• Partition object increases ergonomics and enables explicit data coupling
