You are reading the documentation for an outdated Corteza release. 2023.9 is the latest stable Corteza release.

Resources

A resource is some generic intermediate structure that represents the provided source data with some additional context to enable further processing (things like dependency management via the dependency graph).

To avoid needless complexity and improve flexibility, each Corteza resource defines a resource structure. The resource structure can be as simple as the ComposeNamespace, or as complex as the ComposeRecord resource.

Large datasets

Smaller datasets (for example modules and namespaces) should be in the range of << 500 entries.

Larger datasets, however, can be in the millions (for example records).

These resources (let’s call them resource sets for now) need to define a resource set, where multiple source entries are represented as a single resource set (for example the ComposeRecord resource).
