This architecture is reflected in the pricing. A component represents a service that can be booked and scaled individually per environment.
PHP, database, but also traffic and storage are components. Most components are available in different sizes, those are called plans and are titled like t-shirt labels: XS, S, M, L …. Different resource attributes are associated with the plans as well.
