The dependsOn behavior doesn't adapt to services linking to containers.

[cloudnautique]

When using a container for development and optionally using a service the dependsOn fields need to be conditioned like so:

dependsOn: std.ifelse(args.atlas, ["nats"], ["nats", "mongo"])

Otherwise, the dependent containers will hang forever waiting for the container being replaced by a service to start. A complete example is the webhook-app.

The expectation is that you wouldn't need to update dependencies based on using a service Acorn. The dependency should wait until the service Acorn finishes and has reached an OK state as far as Acorn is concerned.

a pain, but there's a work around. bumping
