# Deployment Configuration

This directory contains deployment artifacts for the project.

## Structure

- **compose.yml** - Docker Compose configuration for local development and deployment
- **.env.example** - Example environment variables
- **docker/** - Dockerfiles and container documentation

## Quick Start

### Local Development

1. Copy environment file:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   ```

2. Start all services:
   ```bash
   docker compose -f deploy/compose.yml up
   ```

3. Access services:
   - Backend: http://localhost:8000
   - Frontend: http://localhost:3000
   - API Docs: http://localhost:8000/docs
   - Database: localhost:5432

### Stop Services

```bash
docker compose -f deploy/compose.yml down
```

### Rebuild Services

```bash
docker compose -f deploy/compose.yml up --build
```

### View Logs

```bash
# All services
docker compose -f deploy/compose.yml logs -f

# Specific service
docker compose -f deploy/compose.yml logs -f backend
```

## Production Deployment

For production deployments, consider:

1. Using separate compose files for different environments
2. Implementing proper secret management
3. Setting up reverse proxy (nginx/traefik)
4. Configuring SSL/TLS certificates
5. Setting up monitoring and logging
6. Implementing backup strategies

## Kubernetes (Optional)

If deploying to Kubernetes, create a `k8s/` directory with:

- Deployment manifests
- Service definitions
- ConfigMaps and Secrets
- Ingress configuration
