Services dependencies #5856

wbreza · 2025-10-03T18:55:05Z

New Feature: Service Dependencies

What it does: Services can now declare dependencies on other services/resources using a uses property. Services are automatically deployed in dependency order.

Key capabilities:

Dependency ordering during deployment
Circular dependency detection and prevention
Backward compatible (existing configs work unchanged)

Example YAML

name: my-app

services:
  backend:
    project: ./api
    host: containerapp
  frontend:
    project: ./frontend
    host: staticwebapp
    uses:
      - backend

Deployment order: backend → frontend

Error protection: Prevents circular dependencies (e.g., if database tried to use frontend)

That's it - services deploy in the right order automatically.
