Description

should we have the same name for service type?

app-db, data-db, proxy, vs metabse, postgres:12, nginx.

pros:
simpler and more predictable basic structure.

cons:
if you want to use the same db for app-db and data-db, you can't reuse it. maybe it's not a bad thing

Research direction

The issue proposes standardizing service names such as app-db, data-db, proxy, metabase, postgres:12, and nginx, but names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate where service types are defined and used, then document the trade-off around reusing one database; done means the naming policy and its reuse behavior are decided.
