What is the correct way to shutdown a cloud app?
If we are ready to shutdown a cloud version of an app, should we just remove the connect key from the Forge manifest and shutdown the cloud app?

H Alexandr,
That’s a great question and one that should probably have a better-documented answer.
The thing to do is to remove app.connect.remote
(and app.connect.authentication
if you had that set) and remove the associated entry in remotes
but keep app.connect.key
The reason to hang on to app.connect.key
is so that the app will continue to replace old Connect versions of your app with that key when it is installed into the same site.
Oh, but before you actually switch off the Connect server you’ll of course want to check (via the logs, the marketplace view, etc.) that there are no installations of the Connect version still hanging around.
