It starts your whole app, including the whole supervision tree, but you can turn on/off services based on whatever logic you want. I talk a bit about this in the screencast. For example, no need to start the phoenix endpoint (webserver) since we aren't serving web traffic. For the DB pool, you'd set a lower pool size or single connection in your runtime configuration based on the presence of FLAME parent or not.

Oh cool! Thanks for the reply, haven't had time to watch the screencast yet. Looking forward to it.
