+* integrations - contains all integrations with external systems.
 
-* folder per concept - we prefer using business concepts like 'account' or 'company';
-* [function](../fundamentals/building-blocks#functions) per file - we use corresponding filenames with the function name like 'searchAccounts'' or 'createMonthReport';

+For setting up the domain, we use the following rules:

+* [function](../fundamentals/building-blocks#functions) per file - we use corresponding filenames with the function name like 'searchAccounts' or 'createMonthReport';
 * [data model](./data-sharing) per file - use corresponding filenames with the model names like 'Account' or 'MonthReport';
 * [version](../deploy/segmentation#versioning) per file - both functions and models, we add the version number at the end of the filename.
 
 A concept folder can be split into multiple subfolders. We do this for larger applications, but we always try to keep the structure as flat as possible to avoid complexity.
 
-For applications with a frontend we like to separate the frontend components from the rest. This makes migrating to another (version of the) framework less painful for applications that outlive their framework (we've been there). In this case we commonly use the following structure.

+# Set up and tear down
+
+Before an application starts or stops, you might want to do some additional things like connecting and disconnecting the database.
+For this, Jitar provides hooks for executing set up and tear down scripts.
+
+The scripts can be configured per service in its configuration.
+Adding both scripts to a standalone configuration looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+    "url": "http://standalone.example.com:3000",
+    "setUp": "./setUp",
+    "tearDown": "./tearDown",
+    "standalone": {}
+}
+```
+
+Both script are optional, so you are free to use the one or the other, or none at all.
+
+The scripts do not have any specific requirements, so there's nothing special about them.
+The following example shows a simple set up script.
+
+```ts
+// src/setUp.ts
+import { Database } from './integrations/database/Database';
+
+await Database.connect(process.env.DB_CONN_STRING);
+```
+
+All it does is importing dependencies and performing all actions required.
+
+::: warning IMPORTANT
+The set up script is executed before the service starts. If the script fails, Jitar will exit.
+:::
+
+The tear down script looks almost the same in this case.
+
+```ts
+// src/tearDown.ts
+import { Database } from './integrations/database/Database';
+
+await Database.disconnect();
+```
+
+::: warning IMPORTANT
+The tear up script is executed after the service has stopped. If the script fails, Jitar will exit.
+:::
+
+It's common to create service specific scripts.
+If the scripts overlap or get to big, we recommend breaking them up into multiple smaller scripts.
