Guides

Longer pieces on the decisions a generated project has already made for you, and why.

• Choosing a database — the six options, what each one costs, and why swapping between them is one file rather than a rewrite.
• Health probes and shutdown — why there are two probes, why they disagree during a deploy, and what goes wrong when you merge them into one.
• The --enterprise overlay — what it adds, and how the CI workflow is chosen from the project's build tool rather than templated.
• Releasing — how a change reaches npm, and why the version bump happens before the publish rather than after it.

For the flags themselves, see the CLI reference.
