# Services

This directory contains small and simple services that may be run independently.
Note that composition is not the goal.
For example, databases and web proxies are handled outsite the containers.
Use these services for simple deployment and ad hoc testing.
One nice aspect of small system containers is that you can run these easily on your laptop.

IMPORTANT: more complex services do not belong in this directory.

# Examples

## gn-guile

`gn-guile` is our next generation service (gn4?). It provides a REST API, at this point, and some portals, such as https://aging.genenetwork.org/.

See the [gn-guile](./gn-guile.scm) system definition example.
