Rule Service is an interface or an end point that enables an application to invoke a decision logic. In an online transaction or workflow, rule service is invoked by passing any relevant input from an application to the rule service in a stateless manner.

Ruleset is a logical collection of rules that helps you group business rules that govern a specific function. A ruleset links a rule or group of rules to a rule service.
