Jetstack Documentation

First of all: thanks for using Jetstack!

Jetstack is a configurable platform for rapid building of tenant-specific business applications from data models, queries, views, canvases, automations, permissions, and operational tooling.

Two Documentation Streams

The documentation is split by audience. Pick the one that matches your job.

StreamForStart at
Implementer documentationPeople who design, configure, operate or integrate an application: implementers, power users, administrators, advanced operators.Platform Overview
User guidePeople who use a finished application day to day: no technical background, no ability to change how the application is configured.Jetstack User Guide

The rest of this page describes the implementer stream. If you are looking for how to sign in, filter a list, fill in a form, upload a file or read a dashboard, go to the User Guide instead.

Who This Documentation Is For

This set assumes the reader is doing one or more of these jobs:

  • designing a tenant implementation
  • configuring the platform for a real business process
  • operating a tenant in production
  • integrating external tools or AI-enabled workflows
  • governing access, rollout, and lifecycle changes

This set is not an engine-internals guide for core product development. Internal behavior is described only when it explains implementer-facing behavior.

Documentation Map

  • Overview Explains the platform shape, mental models, and how the major platform areas fit together.
  • Shared References Explains cross-cutting mechanics such as expressions, code processor functions, filter operators, and scope resolution.
  • Builder Guides Explains the configuration surfaces used to design a tenant implementation.
  • Governance And Operations Explains access, administration, storage, localization, rollout, and tenant settings.
  • Integrations And Tools Explains programmatic integration surfaces and advanced operator tools.
  • Recipes Shows how to combine the platform pieces into practical implementation patterns.
  • User Guide The separate end-user stream. Explains the delivered application from the seat of a non-technical business user, and deliberately contains no configuration guidance. Useful to implementers as a check on what the people you are building for will actually experience.

How To Use This Set

  • Read capability chapters when you need to decide which platform feature to use.
  • Read reference chapters when a feature depends on expressions, filters, runtime scope, or permission/query mechanics.
  • Use the recipe section when you need guidance on composition and implementation strategy.
  • Use the internal Coverage Matrix and Source Map when you want to see which product surface and code anchors the documentation covers.

Platform Themes You Will See Repeatedly

The same design themes appear throughout Jetstack:

  • configuration over code
  • reusable object modeling
  • shared runtime evaluation through expressions
  • role and query driven access control
  • tenant-scoped operational behavior
  • integration through stable platform surfaces instead of ad hoc custom entry points

Those themes are intentional. Once you understand them, the rest of the platform becomes much easier to reason about.
