Services

In-depth, per-service reference for the standalone components that ship with IntelliAsk — the Code Interpreter, the RAG API, the Metrics Exporter, and IntelliApps. Every environment variable, config option, and exposed surface, documented in full.

This section is the deep reference for the standalone services that power IntelliAsk's advanced features. Each one is its own product with its own build and its own environment surface — so each gets its own space here to document every variable and option in full.

How this differs from the Deploy docs

The Deploy → Components pages describe how each service is wired into the Docker Compose stack (image variables, resource limits, and the handful of config/.env keys the stack sets for you).

These Services pages document the service itself — the complete application environment surface it reads, every embeddings provider, every exposed metric, the internal architecture, and the security model. Use the Deploy docs to run it; use these to master it.

The services

Code Interpreter

The sandboxed code-execution API (codeapi). Six hardened microservices, the full CODEAPI_*/SANDBOX_* environment surface, the JWT + signed-manifest security model, and the network-egress design.

RAG API

Retrieval-augmented "chat with files". Server, auth, and vector-DB settings, plus the complete embeddings matrix — OpenAI, Azure, HuggingFace, Ollama, Google, VertexAI, and AWS Bedrock.

Metrics Exporter

Prometheus usage metrics scraped from MongoDB. Every environment variable, the per-group toggles, and the full catalog of exposed intelliask_* metrics.

IntelliApps

The generative app platform behind IntelliAsk apps. Its MCP + HTTP surface, the three data planes (Mongo / PostgreSQL / S3), the complete environment surface, every opt-in published-page feature, and the Identity Bridge.

How they fit together

These are optional, independently-versioned services that run as part of the stack, each powering one IntelliAsk feature:

Service	Powers the feature	Deploy guide
Code Interpreter	Run Code / Code Interpreter	Components → Code Interpreter
RAG API	Chat with Files	Components → RAG API
Metrics Exporter	Metrics	Components → Exporter
IntelliApps	IntelliApps	Adding Environment Variables
