# Core API

The Nimbus Core API serves as a mechanism to provide all the essential services and utilities that are application agnostic in cloud applications. Since the Nimbus framework roadmap includes support for compliance with various industry and military standards, we plan on utilizing the core services to have full compliance to the security needs and hence ensure that any application that is being build will automatically have the corresponding security compliance.

The following Core Services are available to all application developers:

1. Cloud File System - Automatically manage the lifecycle and storage of all file uploads, along with easy to use components that help with the management of the above files.
2. Tasks & Queues - Async Tasks and Queues that can be initialized for different applications capturing the business Processes
3. Compute - The ability to execute python functions, complex workflows on the cloud without any worry about provisioning, security and management.
4. Cache - Temporary storage that can be used by different applications to make sure that all application logic and helper storage required by the application/implementation does not pollute the Application Data Architecture.
5. Workflows - Coming Soon
6. Schemas - Coming Soon
7. Multi-User Canvas - Coming Soon
