 - Set STACK_CONFIG_ID to the id of the config corresponding to the stack
 
+Tips: to accelerate iteration you may deploy only a subset of the configurations: the bare minimum are key management, security manager, watson saas, alm and rag configuration da. Base account, observability and SCC are not on the critical path to get the app running.
 
 ## 6. Run ./deploy-many.sh
 
 - Ensure you are login using ibmcloud login --sso
 - Execute ./deploy-many.sh
