+# Prebuilds in Daytona
+
+# Introduction
+
+Prebuilds are pre-configured [workspace](../definitions/20240819_definition_daytona%20workspace.md) environments that are built ahead of time based
+on your project's configuration. They significantly reduce the time it takes to start a new workspace by having most of the setup work done in advance.
+
+In this article, we will explore the process of setting up prebuilds in Daytona, how they work, and how they can help you streamline development workflows.

+- Benefits of Daytona Prebuilds
+
+## Overview of Prebuilds
+
+Prebuilds are designed to accelerate development by pre-building your Workspace.
+When you start a Workspace, the prebuilt environment is used, ensuring that the
+Workspace is initiated almost instantly. Prebuilds achieve this by setting up a
+project configuration that monitors changes in the connected Git Provider’s repository.
+
+Prebuilds work by registering a listener for webhook events from the Git Provider.
+A public [API](../definitions/20241212_definition_api.md) endpoint is provided,
+which the Git Provider uses to send these requests.
+
+**Key Features of Prebuilds:**
+
+- **Automatic Triggers**: Prebuilds can be automatically initiated based on repository events.
+- **Customizable Configurations**: Tailor prebuild settings to your project's specific needs.
+- **Build Retention**: Control how many prebuilds are retained to manage resources effectively.
+- **Prebuild Status Monitoring**: Track the status of your prebuilds through the Daytona CLI.
+
+**Note:** Daytona currently supports GitHub, GitLab, and GitLab Self-Managed as Git Providers for Prebuilds.
+
+## Setting up a Project Configuration
+
+Before setting up Prebuilds for your project, you must set up a [Project Configuration](https://www.daytona.io/docs/usage/projects/#project-configuration).
+
+A project configuration contains all necessary properties to define and manage projects within a Workspace.
+It stores information such as the repository URL, build configuration, and environment variables. 
+This allows for easy reuse of previously set configurations, ensuring a consistent and reproducible
+setup across multiple Workspaces.
+
+Follow the below steps:
+
+- **Step 1:** Start Daytona Server
+
+Start the daytona server by running the command:
+
+```bash
+daytona server
+```
+
+![Daytona server](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img1.png)
+
+- **Step 2:** Add a new Project Configuration
+
+Run the following command to add a new Project Configuration:
+
+```bash
+daytona project-config add
+```
+
+- **Step 3:** Choose a Git Provider
+
+You will be prompted to choose a provider. Select `GitHub` from
+the list.
+
+![Daytona project config](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img2.png)
+
+If you haven't added GitHub as a provider, you can do so by running the below command:
+
+```bash
+daytona git-providers add
+```
+
+- **Step 4:** Select repository URL
+
+Select the repository URL of the project you want to configure from your GitHub.
+
+In my case, I've selected [pyhton-dev-env](https://github.com/Kiran1689/python-dev-env)
+repository from my GitHub account for configuration.
+
+![Repository](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img3.png)
+
+- **Step 5:** Choose a build configuration
+
+Choose your preferred builder for your project. Builders are responsible for creating 
+a container image with the necessary tools and configurations for your Project.
+
+Read more about Builders and how to choose one for your project [here](https://www.daytona.io/docs/usage/builders/)
+
+![builder](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img4.png)
+
+- **Step 6:** Enter the environment variables
+
+Enter environment variables in the format KEY=VALUE
+To pass machine env variables at runtime, use $VALUE
+
+Leave blank, if there are no environment variables for your project.
+
+![env](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img5.png)
+
+- **Step 7:** Provide name
+
+Enter a name for the Project Configuration.
+
+![project config name](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img6.png)
+
+Now, you have successfully set up your project configurations.
+
+You can check the list of Project Configurations you added by running the below command:
+
+```bash
+daytona project-config list
+```
+
+![project-config list](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img7.png)
+
+Now, let's move to setting up prebuild for your project.
+
+## Setting Up Prebuilds
+
+### Add a Prebuild
+
+Run the following command to add a new Prebuild:
+
+```bash
+daytona prebuilds add
+```
+
+Upon running the above command, Select a project configuration you plan to work on.
+
+![prebuilds add](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img8.png)
+
+After that, Daytona will prompt you to enter several configuration options. 
+Here's an overview:
+
+- **Commit interval**
+
+Set the commit interval for triggering builds for your project.
+For instance, if you specify a commit interval of 2, the Prebuild will run after every 2 commits to the repository.
+
+- **Trigger Files**
+
+Enter the file path whose changes you want to immediately trigger a Prebuild, without having to wait for the commit interval. 
+
+- **Retention**
+
+Define how many successful builds you want Daytona to remember (defaults to 3).
+
+Select `Yes` to Run the build once submit.
+
+![prebuilds config](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img9.png)
+
+Once you add a Prebuild, it becomes active immediately based on the project configuration you provided and 
+a build process will automatically start in the background. 
+
+You can check the progress of the build by running the command:
+
+```bash
+daytona build logs
+```
+
+![build logs](./assets/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona_img10.png)
+
+Once the build process is complete, run the following command to create a Workspace using the configured project configuration:
+
+```bash
+daytona create [PROJECT_CONFIG_NAME]
+```
+
+Upon running this command, Daytona will detect the most recent Prebuild associated with the selected project configuration.
+The Workspace will then use this Prebuild, significantly speeding up the setup process. 
+
+Now, you have successfully configured Prebuild for your project. The Prebuild will automatically run whenever the specified
+conditions are met, such as when the defined number of commits is reached or Trigger files are modified and subsequent 
+`daytona create` calls will automatically detect the most recent existing build and use it to create the project.
+
+## Managing Prebuilds
+
+Daytona allows you to manage your Prebuilds through Daytona CLI.
+
+### List Prebuilds
+
+Daytona allows you to list all Prebuilds, providing you with an overview

+# API (Application Programming Interface)
+
+## Definition
+
+An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols
+that allow different software applications to communicate with each other.
+It specifies how software components should interact, making it easier for 
+developers to integrate and extend functionality across different systems and services.
+
+## Context and Usage
+
+APIs are essential for enabling interoperability between different software applications.
+They are widely used in web development, mobile apps, and third-party integrations.
+By providing a standardized way for applications to exchange data, APIs are fundamental
+in creating scalable and modular systems. Popular examples include REST APIs, GraphQL APIs,
+and SOAP APIs, which allow for everything from retrieving weather data to managing user
+authentication across platforms. APIs help streamline development, reduce redundancy,
+and enable innovation by allowing developers to build on existing services and technologies.
