Lifetime application dependencies
Hi guys,

I have a question, regarding arquitecture and lifetime. Imagine this:

You have an application APP_A with the eSpaces APPA_ES_A, APPA_ES_B, APPA_ES_C
APPA_ES_A consumes APPA_ES_B and C
APPA_ES_B consumes C

You have other application APP_B with eSpaces APPB_ES_A and APPB_ES_B

APPB_ES_A consumes APPB_ES_B
APPB_ES_B for a particular reason, needs to consume APPA_ES_C from Application APP_A

Now, if I develop new code in APPA_ES_B from APP_A, when I deploy the application APP_A to other environment, does lifetime advises or obligates to deploy also Application APP_B ?

In my opinion, it shouldn't because I didn't change the eSpace that application B is consuming from APP_A (which is the APPA_ES_C. And it shouldn't stay with different version either.

Do you guys know the answer for this? I need to have an official answer.

Thanks in advance!

make an image of it an perhaps people understand it better.

but to be honest.
you should have AppA_ES_C as a different application, since it's being consumed by both appA & appB.

If I develop code in appa_core eSpace, in lifetime, when deploying to other environment, do I need to also deploy App B ? If not, will I have different versions or warnings? It shouldn't..

@J having that appa_shared_core in a different application wouldn't make that much sense, because its business only related to App A.

I did think about having REST apis in appa_shared_core so it wouldn't have direct dependencies, but in this way I would also lose track for where is a particular method being used, and the performance in run-time would deteriorate too...

Thanks.

to answer your question, yes it will trigger to redeploy appB but Lifetime will take care of that.
that's why I am telling you the shared_core needs to be in a separate app.
Design-wise it also makes more sense, since 2 applications are having references to it.


@J having that appa_shared_core in a different application wouldn't make that much sense, because its business only related to App A.

untrue! because you are referencing it, so there is business relation to it from appB
.
furthermore, do not think applications in Outsystems are real applications, more in packages.

Hi @J,

yeah, I should say "because its business mainly related to.." instead of "only related".

And yes, I'm looking at the applications as they were real applications, for packages I look at solutions.

But maybe you're right, I should not look at it as applications...
