What Forge owns
Boundary and safety
Managed database kinds provision containers; cache and queue kinds use baked Compose templates with generated secrets.
Review the affected node, workload, route, or secret before saving. Capture state and health evidence before changes that affect data or public traffic.
Before you finish
Verification checklist
- Instance status is running with host and port.
- Connection string present on the row.
- Attach link recorded for the environment.
- Retention policy covers the kind.
