Workspaces

To create a workspace, see the steps here.

​

Workspace Files

A workspace file is a YAML file that describes a resource in Airfold, which collectively make up the source code of your Airfold workspace.

​

Key Features

• Version control - Push workspace files to a Git repository for version control and efficient collaboration with your team.
• Single source of truth - The workspace files in the main branch of your repository are the single source of truth for your workspace. Use git pull to sync your local workspace with the latest changes from the main branch.
• CI / CD - Incorporate your CI workflows, run tests, use Airfold CLI’s af push to deploy changes to your workspace, and more.
• Pull Requests - Use pull requests to review changes to your workspace before merging them into the main branch (which can trigger a CI with af push to deploy changes to your workspace).

Workspace files are not tied to a specific workspace, and can be deployed to any workspace. You can easily create new workspaces from existing ones, or to apply changes to multiple workspaces at once.

​

File Structure

There are two types of workspace files pipes and sources.

Here’s an example:

/.airfold/config.yaml
/pipes
  /trends_per_country.yaml
  /sales_metrics.yaml
/sources
  /events.yaml
  /sales.yaml
  /sales_metrics_mv.yaml
/endpoints
  /country_trends.yaml
  /sales_over_time.yaml

​

Push Files to a Workspace

Using the CLI command af push or /push API.

For example, you can push all files in the pipes directory with:

af push pipes/*
