To utilize the benefits of Services, activity developer need only to [[Activity Team/Documentation/Services/Activity Developers Guide|mention]] all services that their activity is using. Services infrastructure will provide specified services (and specified versions) for the activity and [[Documentation_Team/Services/Activity_Developers_Guide#Attaching_dependencies_to_activity|will let activity know]] about them.

Sugar Services let activity developers:
 +
 +
* use dependencies that are not intended to be included to [[0.86/Platform_Components|Sugar Platform]]
 +
** including libraries that are used by only a few activities; or
 +
** have shorter or longer release/support schedules than Sucrose;
 +
* deploy dependencies that are specific to particular activity; for example, some Python activities include C libraries—by using Services, an activity developer need not bundle all the binaries that Sugar supports; links can be provided links to any binaries that have been build, Services will build additional C libraries from source on user side where they are required.
