A plugin is a piece of code that integrates with our main server to perform a specific function. In the context of our product, a plugin is nothing but a .fp bundle (i.e. Kind of app, zip).

A plugin is first installed in a plugin server. A plugin server is a server which hosts/runs plugins. It is like our main server with a specialized purpose of running plugins. The main server will call a plugin server to execute specific plugin and get the desired output.
