+# Architecture Stack
+
+**General Guideline: ** Free and Open-Source, self-hostable with little to no limitations.
+
+## Development
+
+- use git and make proper commits
+
+## Frontend
+
+- Astro.js + React
+- Tailwind.css
+- Framer Motion
+
+## Backend
+
+- Strapi (Core MIT License)
+    - **User Management:** Strapi's built-in user authentication and role management system can handle user accounts for access control.
+- **Database:** PostgreSQL (PostgreSQL License)
+
+## Other Functionalities
+
+### Newsletter
+- **Email/Mailing List Manager:** `Listmonk` (AGPLv3 License) - A self-hosted, open-source newsletter and mailing list manager.
+
+### File Downloads (e.g., Ebooks)
+- **Content Hosting:** Ebooks hosted and served via Strapi's Media Library.
+- **Access Control:** Downloads gated by Strapi user authentication. Users must be logged in via Strapi to access protected download links.
+- **Newsletter Integration:** User registration/login process within Strapi can be integrated with `Listmonk` (e.g., via API calls or webhooks) to automatically subscribe users to the newsletter upon signup, fulfilling the requirement for download access.
+
+# Deployment
+
+- **Docker Compose:**
+    - Define services for `Strapi` (MIT License), `PostgreSQL` (PostgreSQL License), and `Listmonk` (AGPLv3 License).
+    - Configure volumes for Strapi uploads, PostgreSQL data persistence, and Listmonk data persistence.
+    - Ensure environment variables are managed for database connections, Strapi secrets, and Listmonk configuration.
+    - Consider how the Astro.js frontend will be built and served, and how it interacts with Strapi's API for user authentication and protected content.
+- DO create docker-compose.yaml to make it deployable for Coolify
