Service catalog

Choose a service by the outcome you need, then open its guide for concepts, authentication, CLI examples, and limits. Use skippr-cloud <service> --help or the API action reference when you need the kebab-case command, request target, or JSON contract.

Services

Service	What it does	How it works	Use it when
tables	Store and query application records.	Create keyed tables, then read, write, query, scan, or transact over items.	You need durable application state, metadata, or idempotency records.
queue	Move work reliably between producers and workers.	Send messages to named queues; consumers receive, acknowledge, or retry them with visibility controls.	You need background jobs, buffering, or decoupled processing.
secrets	Store and retrieve sensitive application values.	Manage named secrets and versions, with retrieval and rotation actions separated from configuration.	Applications need credentials, tokens, or configuration kept out of code.
functions	Run application code on demand or from events.	Register code artifacts and configuration, then invoke functions synchronously or asynchronously.	You need request handlers, background tasks, or event-driven compute.
scheduler	Run work at a specific time or on a recurring schedule.	Create schedules that deliver a configured payload to a target.	You need cron-style jobs, delayed work, or regular maintenance tasks.
events	Route application and service events to consumers.	Publish events to buses and use rules and targets to select where they go.	You need event-driven workflows without coupling producers to consumers.
objects	Store and serve files and binary objects.	Create buckets, upload or download objects, and use multipart or presigned requests for larger transfers.	You need durable files, artifacts, media, backups, or user uploads.
gateway	Publish managed HTTP and WebSocket APIs.	Define APIs, routes, integrations, authorizers, and custom domain names.	You need a public application endpoint with routing and access control.
dns	Manage domain zones and DNS records.	Create zones, then create, update, list, or delete their records.	You need application hostnames or custom-domain routing.
certs	Issue and manage TLS certificates.	Request certificates, complete domain validation, inspect status, and renew or remove certificates.	You need HTTPS for an application or custom domain.
sites	Deploy and serve websites on managed domains.	Create a site, upload and promote deployments, bind domains, and control cached content.	You need static hosting, deployment previews, or a custom website domain.
inventory	Track Cloud resources and configuration drift.	Register resource records, verify their current state, and report drift.	You need a list of resources in this account, or a reconciliation workflow.
Cloud User Directory	Sign in to Skippr Cloud and control who on the account can call Cloud services.	Sign in with email, manage people and roles, attach policies, and create keys for Terraform and CI.	You need to operate this Cloud account, assign teammate roles, or authorize a function or CI identity.
Auth	Give users of your product identities.	Create app user pools and app clients, then sign those users in with an email code and protect Gateway routes with the pool.	Your application has its own users — a SaaS app, mobile app, or customer portal.
logs	Collect, search, and route application logs.	Create log groups and streams, put events, filter, and start queries.	You need centralized troubleshooting and log retention.
metrics	Record and query application metrics.	Put datapoints, query aggregates, and manage alarms.	You need time-series monitoring or alerting.
traces	Follow requests across distributed applications.	Put spans, look up traces, and manage named trace groups.	You need latency analysis or cross-service debugging.
elt	Run managed data ingestion and transformation pipelines.	Create pipelines, start and stop runs, and inspect run history.	You need repeatable movement of data into analytical systems.
query	Run SQL over Datalake and observability tables.	Execute statements and list tables created by your pipelines.	You need SQL over Iceberg or shared OTel bronze tables.
machines	Run managed fleets of virtual machines.	Planned fleet, image, scaling, and lifecycle management.	You need long-running or system-level workloads.
deploy	Run GitHub Actions on Skippr-managed self-hosted runners.	Install the Skippr GitHub App, bind repositories, and create runner pools with size labels.	You need GitHub Actions jobs on Skippr Cloud compute.

Future capabilities

These capabilities are not shipping yet. Their guides describe the intended product only.

• streams — Provide durable ordered event streams. You need replayable high-throughput event logs.

Each Cloud service has a service-scoped API action page at /cloud/api-operations/{service}.
