Hi, is there any advantage — in production — to setting :join? to true in the service map? For example, when deploying via a jar? Thanks for any thoughts, I realize this probably gets a little beyond the scope of pedestal into how threads and services are managed 😅 (I don’t know if it matters but I’m planning to also have an nrepl running, it gets launched just before pedestal connector/start!)

I don’t think there is any advantage: it’s just a deployment model choice between background or foreground execution.

For example, if you have a super simple app and you want to block your main function, vs if you are starting a web service along with a bunch of other things as part of a component/integrant managed service

OK thanks! Just making sure.
