You can see many of them that the Core team has implemented here

hyper Services

The composed components described above:

• A hyper App
• hyper Core
• A hyper Adapter

Generally, these are referred using the hyper Port names ie. Data Service, Cache Service, Storage Service, Queue Service, and Search Service

hyper Server

A hyper instance that hosts hyper Services and may be consumed via the hyper App public API.

hyper Domain

hyper Services are created on a hyper Server, within a hyper Domain.
