Akua's public [product catalog](https://akua.dev/platform/products) shows platform capabilities by category: Compute, Packaging, Delivery, Networking, Commerce, Agents, and Platform. The docs use a task-oriented sidebar, so the category names do not always appear as top-level navigation items.

Use this page as the bridge between the catalog and the docs.

## Products vs platform capabilities

Akua uses the word **Product** in two different user contexts:

* **Platform capabilities** are the things Akua itself provides, such as Compute, Delivery, Commerce, and Agents.
* **Sellable products** are the software packages you create and sell to customers through the marketplace or private Offers.

If you want to understand the platform surface, start with the capability map above. If you want to package and sell your own software, start with [Sellable products](/products).
