# Build domain in the CSDM framework

The Build domain involves the tables that are used in the build effort (systems development life cycle --- SDLC or Agile Development) of digital products like DevOps. The tables represent the logical development details of the enterprise applications (digital products) to be deployed and used by the business. These are not operational CIs.

SDLC component CI records in the SDLC Component table \[cmdb_ci_sdlc_component\] enable the DevOps product to provide enhanced capabilities for visualizing and managing your application development pipeline. Not all organizations use this data --- this is an optional table.

Records in the table are not operational and are not direct targets of the ITSM
Incident Management, Problem Management, or Change Management processes. You therefore are not required to configure SDLC component records.

The tables in the build domain reference the logical development details of the enterprise applications to be deployed and used by the business. A common persona in this domain is Teams. The SDLC Component table is available
through the CMDB schema version 1.33.

## SDLC component {#build-domain__section_pyy_gn3_4tb}

An SDLC component is a CI that represents a unique development effort of code. It represents parts of a larger business application or digital product broken down into its individually developed components. In other words, the
SDLC component is a software element of a larger application or technology.

Types of SDLC components:

* Application: A service instance is a deployed instance of the SDLC application component. Examples include micro services and APIs. The build team typically builds service instances on behalf of the Service Owner (as described in [Manage Portfolio domain in the CSDM framework](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/D0k6srzAXBK8O7SRekMDoA "The Manage Portfolio domain is a layer on top of the CSDM conceptual model that interacts with the other CSDM domains. The typical user, a service owner, might be responsible for services in more than one domain.")).

  See [Monitor the health of application services on the Application Services dashboard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/T5drxtglZNlh6OhZyyWLbQ "Use insights from the Application Services dashboard to reduce the number of incomplete application services by populating them and adding missing data. To use application services effectively, ensure that application services are fully configured and are populated.").
* Infrastructure: Any infrastructure CI that represents a snapshot of its configuration details is a deployed instance of the SDLC infrastructure component. Examples include database and security configurations.
