        Responsible for managing nodes and data

    Node
        A single entity that carries out a given value of work *or* listens for subscribed data to process

    Service
        A single unit of work. This can send payloads of data to our Controller for proper routing

    Subscription
        A single endpoint listening for payloads sent by services. This allows us to separate data gathering with data processing
