+- Support for your programming [language of choice](/docs/samples): Node.js, Python, Golang, or anything else you can package in a Dockerfile.
+- Built-in AI agent to go [from natural language prompt to an outline project](/docs/concepts/generate.md)
+- Built-in AI agent to help you [debug your cloud applications](/docs/concepts/debug.md)
+- Automated [Dockerfile builds](/docs/concepts/deployments.md)
+- Support for [pre-built Docker containers](/docs/tutorials/deploy-container-using-the-cli.mdx), from public or private image registries
+- Ability to express your project configuration using a [Docker Compose YAML](/docs/concepts/compose.md) file
+- Ability to manage [encrypted configuration values](/docs/concepts/configuration.md)
+- Pre-configured environments with built-in [security](/docs/concepts/security.md), [networking](/docs/concepts/networking.mdx), and [observability](/docs/concepts/observability.md)
+- [One-command deployments](/docs/getting-started/installing.md)

-While Defang is great for a wide variety of use cases, there are some use cases that are not a good fit for Defang. Generally, the use-cases that are Defang anti-patterns are the same as the ones that are [12 Factor](https://12factor.net/) anti-patterns.

 ## Stateful Services
 
 Some applications are designed to run in stateful environments. For example, a CMS like WordPress can be coerced to work in a stateless environment, but most of the tooling for it expects to have a long-lived filesystem and a database. Defang is not a good fit for these types of applications, because [containers are ephemeral and can be replaced at any time](https://12factor.net/processes).
 
 ## Data Stores
 
-Defang now offers support for stateful workloads through our [managed storage](./concepts/managed-storage) options, including [Postgres](./concepts/managed-storage/managed-postgres) and [Redis](./concepts/managed-storage/managed-redis) for data stores. However, we do not recommend using unsupported data stores with Defang, as this may lead to permanent data loss.

 Please be aware that if you choose not to use a Defang-supported [managed storage](./concepts/managed-storage) option, there is a risk that any data stored in a container may be lost if the container is replaced.

+Defang is a radically simpler way for developers to develop, deploy, and debug their cloud applications. Defang enables you to easily author cloud application in any language, build and deploy to the cloud with a single command, and iterate quickly with AI-assisted tooling.
+
+- The [Defang CLI](/docs/getting-started/installing.md) includes an AI-driven agent that translates natural language prompts to an outline for your project that you can then refine.
+- Defang can automatically build and deploy your project with a single command.
+    - If you’re new to Defang, you can try deploying to the [Defang Playground](/docs/concepts/defang-playground.md), a hosted environment to learn to use Defang with non-production workloads.
+    - Once you’re ready, you can [deploy](/docs/concepts/deployments.md) it to your own cloud account - we call this [Defang BYOC](/docs/concepts/defang-byoc.md). Defang takes care of all the heavy lifting such as configuring networking, security, [observability](/docs/concepts/observability.md) and all the other details that usually slow down the average cloud developer.
+- You can also use Defang to easily [publish updates](/docs/concepts/deployments.md#deploying-updates) to your deployed application with zero downtime.
