Admin and Query Nodes

DX Engine provides two node types with different purposes and access levels.

Admin Nodes​

Admin nodes are used for managing DX Engine configurations.

  • Purpose: Perform CRUD operations on all elements (Environments, Components, Connections, Secrets, Flows, and more).
  • Access: Requires tokens with management permissions (elevated access).
  • Usage guidance: Admin nodes should never be used to serve front-end traffic.

Query Nodes​

Query nodes are optimized for executing requests at scale.

  • Purpose: Serve calls to Components and Flows in production.
  • Performance: Designed to handle production-level traffic with higher processing capacity and clustered infrastructure for faster response times.
  • Access: Requires tokens with query permissions (minimum access), making it safer for front-end usage.
