Services

Services in this context refers to runtime platform services. All services that are supported by BaaS must be explicitly enabled in the manifest. This is specified in the "services" part of the manifest. Each service can be enabled or disabled through the Feature section in the Service Explorer.

For performance and financial reasons, only enable the required services. Each added service contributes to prolonged startup time and increased use of resources.

If a service is used from code but not enabled in the manifest, the baas service responds with an exception in runtime.

API Service

The API Service section of the manifest enables the service to call another API Gateway endpoint. The external API Gateway suite must be specified in the manifest. If the suite has not been registered, an exception is thrown with the following message: "A configured API suite could not be found for this uri: ..."

Adding an API Suite: Press F1 - "BaaS: Add API Suite to Manifest” to list all the available API suites for the current tenant. Select the applicable API Suite to add it to the manifest. The command is also available in the Service Explorer from the Manifest context menu.
