## Inter-application dependency information

# The following describes inter-application dependency in Data Forest:

- Direction of inter-application dependencies In Data Forest, some apps have dependencies on each other, and this impacts the sequence in which the apps should be created. Create apps referring to each app's dependency direction.
  - OpenTSDB relies on HBase, and HBase relies on Zookeeper. Therefore, the recommended order for app creation is **Zookeeper > HBase > OpenTSDB**.
  - Because Kafka depends on Zookeeper, it is crucial to create apps in the order of **Zookeeper > Kafka**.
  - Also, create apps in the order of **Elasticsearch > Kibana**.
- Direction of integration between apps There are certain apps that can be integrated together, but this does not mean that there are any restrictions in app creation.
