Habitat Essentials - An Absolute Beginner's Guide
summary
Habitat is a concrete, three-part model: a packaging system (plan file plus core plans and a studio clean-room for deterministic builds), a build service plus depot that automates publishing and dependency rebuilds across transitive graphs, and a process supervisor that handles service discovery, channels, runtime configuration, health checks, topologies and update strategies. The public builder auto-builds and exports artifacts (including export to Docker and other platforms), an on‑prem depot is available, and artifacts in the depot are versioned and automatically consumable by supervisors.
