Complete specs for common shapes. Every one parses as written.

A static site

Built files served from the CDN. No container, so no compute allocation. See Static sites.
slipway.yaml

A web app from a Dockerfile

slipway.yaml

A web app with no Dockerfile

slipway.yaml

A frontend, an API and a database

The frontend bakes in the API’s public URL at build time. The API reaches the database by name.
slipway.yaml

A background worker

No ports, so nothing can reach it. It reaches out.
slipway.yaml

A scheduled job

slipway.yaml

A service with persistent storage

slipway.yaml
A service with a disk runs one pod, so it cannot set replicas above 1 or autoscale.

A prebuilt image

slipway.yaml
For a private registry, add credentials under Settings → Registries and slipway attaches them automatically.

A monorepo that rebuilds selectively

slipway.yaml
Filter paths are relative to the repository root, not to rootDir. See Monorepos.

An autoscaled service

slipway.yaml

Previews with their own values

slipway.yaml

A custom domain with explicit subdomains

slipway.yaml
The zone must be claimed and verified for your organization first. See Custom domains.

Full health check control

slipway.yaml
healthcheck and healthCheckPath are mutually exclusive.
