 ## IoC Recap
 
 [IoC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control) when applied to class dependency management states that each component should not resolve their dependencies — instead the dependencies should be provided to each component.

@@ -111,3 +187,149 @@ There are several aspects that differentiate Mesh IoC from the rest of the DI li
   - Mesh can handle circular dependencies, all thanks to on-demand resolution. However, due to how Node.js module loading works, `@dep` will be unable to infer _one_ of the service keys (depending on which module happened to load first). It's a good practice to use explicit service keys on both sides of circular dependencies.
 
   - Constant values can be bound to mesh. Those could be instances of other classes.
+
+**Important!** Mesh should be used to track _services_. We defined services as classes with **zero-argument constructors** (this is also enforced by TypeScript). However, there are multiple patterns to support constructor arguments, read on!
+
+## Application Architecture Guide
+
+This short guide briefly explains the basic concepts of a good application architecture where all components are loosely coupled, dependencies are easy to reason about and are not mixed with the actual data arguments.
+
+1. Identify the layers of your application. Oftentimes different components have different lifespans or, as we tend to refer to it, scopes:
+
+  - **Application scope**: things like database connection pools, servers and other global components are scoped to entire application; their instances are effectively singletons (i.e. you don't want to establish a new database connection each time you query it).
+  - **Request/session scope**: things like traditional HTTP routers will depend on `request` and `response` objects; the same reasoning can be applied to other scenarios, for example, web socket server may need functionality per each connected client — such components will depend on client socket.
+  - **Short-lived per-instance scope**: if you use "fat" classes (e.g. Active Record pattern) then each entity instances should be conceptually "connected" to the rest of the application (e.g. `instance.save()` should somehow know about the database)
+
+2. Build the mesh hierarchy, starting from application scope, descending into more granular scopes.
+
+    ```ts
+    // app.ts
+    export class App {
+        // You can either inherit from Mesh or store it as a field.
+        // Name parameter is optional, but can be useful for debugging.
+        mesh: Mesh;
+
+        constructor() {
+            this.mesh = new Mesh('App')
+                // Define your application-scoped services
+                .constant(App, this)
+                .service(Logger, GlobalLogger);
+                .service(MyDatabase);
+                .service(MyServer);
+                // Define your session-scoped services
+                .scope('session')
+                .service(Logger, SessionLogger)
+                .service(SessionScopedService);
+        }
+
+        start() {
+            // Define logic for application startup
+            // (e.g. connect to databases, start listening to servers, etc)
+            this.mesh.resolve(MyServer).listen();
+        }
+
+        startSession(req: Request, res: Response) {
+            // Bind session-specific data (e.g. request, response, client web socket, session id, etc)
+            const sessionMesh = this.mesh.createScope('session')
+                // Session-specific data can be bound by session-scoped services
+                .constant(Request, req)
+                .constant(Response, res);
+            // Define logic for session initialisation
+            sessionMesh.resolve(SessionScopedService).doStuff();
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+
+3. Create an application entrypoint (advice: never mix modules that export classes with entrypoint modules!):
+
+    ```ts
+    // bin/run.ts
+
+    const app = new App();
+    app.start();
+    ```
+
+4. Identify the proper component for session entrypoint:
+
+    ```ts
+    export class MyServer {
+        @dep() app!: App;
+
+        // The actual server (e.g. http server or web socket server)
+        server: Server;
+
+        constructor() {
+            this.server = new Server((req, res) => {
+                // This is the actual entrypoint of Session
+                app.startSession(req, res);
+            });
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+
+5. Use `@dep()` to transparently inject dependencies in your services:
+
+    ```ts
+    export class SessionScopedService {
+
+        @dep() database!: Database;
+        @dep() req!: Request;
+        @dep() res!: Response;
+
+        // ...
+    }
+    ```
+
+6. Come up with conventions and document them, for example:
+
+  - create different directories for services with different scopes
+  - separate entrypoints from the rest of the modules
+    - entrypoints only import, instantiate and invoke methods (think "runnable from CLI")
+    - all other modules only export stuff
+
+You can take those further and adapt to your own needs. Meshes are composable and the underlying mechanics are quite simple. Start using it and you'll get a better understanding of how to adapt it to the needs of your particular case.
+
+## Advanced
+
+### Connecting "guest" instances
+
+Mesh IoC allows connecting an arbitrary instance to the mesh, so that the `@dep` can be used in it.
+
+For example:
+
+```ts
+// This entity class is not managed by Mesh directly, instead it's instantiated by UserService
+class User {
+    @dep() database!: Database;
+
+    // Note: constructor can have arbitrary arguments in this case,
+    // because the instantiation isn't controlled by Mesh
+    constructor(
+        public firstName = '',
+        public lastName = '',
+        public email = '',
+        // ...
+    ) {}
+
+    async save() {
+        await this.database.save(this);
+    }
+}
+
+class UserService {
+    // Note: Mesh is automatically available in all connected services
+    @dep() mesh!: Mesh;
+
+    createUser(firstName = '', lastName = '', email = '', /*...*/) {
+        const user = new User();
+        // Now connect it to mesh, so that User can access its services via `@dep`
+        return this.mesh.connect(user);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Note: the important limitation of this approach is that `@dep` are not available in entity constructors (e.g. `database` cannot be resolved in `User` constructor, because by the time the instance is instantiated it's not yet connected to the mesh).
