Research direction

Start with the production tutorial page linked in the issue and compare its service settings guidance with the apollo-tooling README reference. Update the tutorial to explain the required apollo.config.js setup before the service:check and service:push commands, then verify that the documented flow addresses the reported error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Have had a few intercom users saying they ran npx apollo service:check && npx apollo service:push and got Error: No service found to link to Engine

The tutorial page doesn't currently mention anything about configs

There are docs for service settings from the apollo-tooling readme that can be used as reference - https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-tooling#service-settings
