Service is a special type of pipeline that does not process data but provides a capability to expose it to the outside world. For example, you can use a service to serve a machine learning model as an API that has the most up-to-date version of your data.

The following pipeline spec extract is an example of how you can expose your Jupyter notebook as a service by adding a service field:

{
    "pipeline": {
      "name": "notebook"
    },
    "input": {
        "pfs": {
            "glob": "/",
            "repo": "input"
        }
    },
    "service": {
        "external_port": 30888,
        "internal_port": 8888
    },
    "transform": {
        "cmd": [
            "start-notebook.sh"
        ],
        "image": "jupyter/datascience-notebook"
    }
}

The service section specifies the following parameters:

The Service starts running at the first commit in the input repo.
