+The `cleanup` method is optional, so you can implement classes with only a `create` method:

+
 All finalizers run concurrently when you call `destroy()`:
 
 ```typescript
 const container = Container.empty()
 	.register(Database, {
-		factory: () => new Database(),
-		finalizer: (db) => db.close(),

 // Both finalizers run in parallel

+**Avoid resolving during registration if possible** - Once you resolve a dependency, the container will cache it and you won't be able to override the registration. This might become problematic in case you're composing layers and multiple layers reference the same layer in their provisions (see more on layers below). It's better to keep registration and resolution separate:
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Bad - resolving during setup creates timing issues
+const container = Container.empty().register(Logger, () => new Logger());

+const logger = await container.resolve(Logger); // During setup!

+const container = Container.empty()
+	.register(Logger, () => new Logger())
+	.register(Database, () => new Database());
+
+// Now use services
+const logger = await container.resolve(Logger);

+
+However, it's perfectly fine to resolve and even use dependencies inside another dependency factory function.
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Also good - resolve dependency inside factory function during the registration
+const container = Container.empty()
+	.register(Logger, () => new Logger())

+		return db;

 ## Working with Layers
 
 Layers are the recommended approach for organizing dependencies in larger applications. While direct container registration works well for small projects, layers provide better code organization, reusability, and developer experience as your application grows.
