Compute.build Engine

The Compute Engine is a Windows application that runs along the web platform, allowing the framework to interact both with your local machine resources and with compute.build's API. The purpose of the Engine is two-fold:

  • Local Machine code execution: Every time you open or interact with an application, the app's code is executed in your local machine using the Engine. This configuration allows for full utilization of system resources.
  • Interacting with Compute's API: Manages a connection with the compute.build cloud server to fetch the data required to run existing applications, and also to deploy your own.
  • Logging: Every interaction you make with the Compute platform is logged in the Engine. This includes errors that occur at runtime during the execution of an application.
