FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need to rewrite my app?
No. Templates use the Docker images, Helm charts and YAML you already have.
Where are template files kept?
In Shipfast, synced with your Git repository and backed up.
Can different teams share a template?
Yes. Publish it to the marketplace, and each team creates its own apps from it.
What happens when a template changes?
Shipfast lists every app the change affects, and production changes can require approval.
