# SECTIONS OF THE BOXFILE
# *****************************************************************************


# Boxfiles consist of a handful of sections or "nodes": run.config, deploy.config, web, worker, data.
# These are covered in detail in the next few docs, but here are some quick descriptions:

# run.config - Defines the build, environment, and configuration for web and worker components.
# deploy.config - Defines deploy hooks and possible code transformations.
# web - Defines settings unique to each web component.
# worker - Defines settings unique to each worker component.
# data - Defines settings unique to a specific data component.
