API naming

To avoid confusion, please note that the terms in the API may differ from those in the Fibery User Guide and the interface.
  • Type → Database
  • App → Space
Initially, we used Type and App across all assets and interface. Based on user feedback, we decided to rename them as Database and Space. However, the old terms still exist in the API code and are likely to remain unchanged.
