  • A Lingk user account can perform all functions within the Lingk app to manage projects, configure recipes, recipe libraries, environments, schedule data processing jobs, etc. Users can invite others to their owned projects from their account.

  • Projects organize recipes for collaboration with other Lingk users. A single project can contain many recipes for data loading, migration, integration and automation use. Projects are used to configure recipes with credentials, connector environments and processing schedules. Projects are created by a Lingk user account owner and only the project owner can invite others to their projects. Users can only see the projects they have created or been invited to. For organizations, projects enable each project to have its own collaborative space to bring people and processes together. For technology providers, each project can represent a customer engagement - bringing all the implementation, professional services, and support operations together.

  • Recipes are searchable templates that drive the data processing, integration and automation logic of the Lingk Platform. Recipes can be searched publicly or privately for reuse, auto generated using the Visual SQL Wizard or built from scratch in the SQL Recipe Editor. Users can easily build, save, test, version, schedule, deploy and securely share recipe templates with other Lingk users. Recipes are human-readable, reusable YAML configurations that combine connector information, data processing and powerful SQL commands to enable almost any type of transformation and aggregation of data. Users can build recipe libraries of reusable recipe templates that incorporate business rules, automation, integration and data processing needs.

  • A data processing row (DPR) represents a row of data read from a data source for processing.

  • A data processing hour (DPH) represents an hour of data processing time used to execute scheduled or triggered jobs on the Lingk platform.
