+# Musify
+
+Music streaming platform: upload your own tracks, process them asynchronously
+(audio transcoded to `.m4a`, thumbnails generated) and stream them without the
+bytes ever going through the API.
+
+```
+backend/      .NET 10 — Domain / Application / Infrastructure / Api / Worker / StreamingGateway / Tests
+web-player/   SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 + Tailwind 4 web client
+deploy/       Docker Compose stacks — self-contained, no wrapper scripts
+docs/         What each piece does and why (in Spanish)
+```
+
+```sh
+dotnet test backend/Musify.slnx   # backend/Tests/ — Docker running (Testcontainers: Postgres, SeaweedFS)
+```
+
+## Run it
+
+Development (Docker Desktop):
+
+```sh
+docker compose -f deploy/compose.yml -f deploy/compose.dev.yml up -d
+```
+
+Infrastructure plus stream-ticket keys, database migrations and Zitadel OIDC
+provisioning — all as one-shot jobs baked into the compose file. Apps run from
+the IDE by default; add `--profile apps up -d --build` as a second command to
+run them in Docker instead.
+
+Production, on a server with a domain:
+
+```sh
+cp deploy/.env.prod.example deploy/.env.prod   # fill in the domain and secrets
+docker compose --env-file deploy/.env.prod -f deploy/compose.yml -f deploy/compose.prod.yml up -d
+docker compose --env-file deploy/.env.prod -f deploy/compose.yml -f deploy/compose.prod.yml --profile apps up -d --build
+```
+
+Idempotent — run the same commands again to deploy an update. See
+[deploy/README.md](deploy/README.md) for the details, the port map and the
+production prerequisites.
+
+## Components
+
+| Service | Port (dev) | Role |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Musify.Api` | 5111 | REST API, issues presigned upload URLs and stream tickets |
+| `Musify.StreamingGateway` | 8081 | YARP proxy that validates the stream ticket and serves the audio |
+| `Musify.Worker` | — | MassTransit consumers: transcoding, thumbnails |
+| `web-player` | 5173 / 3000 | Web client (SvelteKit, server-side OIDC session) |
+| Zitadel | 8080 | Identity (OIDC/OAuth2) |
+| PostgreSQL / RabbitMQ / SeaweedFS / Jaeger | 59000 / 5672 / 8333 / 16686 | Metadata, messaging, object storage, traces |
