+# Coolify Deployment Guide - "Quick Fix" Method
+
+## Environment Variables (Add in Coolify UI)

+```
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+1. **In Coolify:** Create new Docker Compose deployment
+2. **Paste the docker-compose.yaml** from this repo
+3. **Add environment variables** (above)
+4. **CRUCIAL:** After saving, go to **Service Configuration**:
+   - For `directus` service: Set domain to `spark.jumpstartscaling.com`
+   - For `frontend` service: Set domain to `launch.jumpstartscaling.com`
+5. **Deploy!**
+
+## Login
+
+- URL: https://spark.jumpstartscaling.com
+- Email: `admin@sparkplatform.com`
+- Password: `SecurePass2024!Change`
+
+---
+
+# "Pro" Method (Recommended for Production)
+
+## Why Split Services?
+
+- ✅ Automated database backups to S3/R2
+- ✅ Independent scaling
+- ✅ Data persists even if you delete the app
+- ✅ One-click version upgrades
+
+## Architecture
+
+1. **PostgreSQL** (Coolify Managed Database)
+2. **Redis** (Coolify Managed Database)
+3. **Directus** (Docker Service)
+4. **Frontend** (Public Repository)
+
+## Setup Steps
+
+### 1. Create Databases
+
+**PostgreSQL:**
+- Coolify → Add Resource → PostgreSQL
+- After creation: Settings → Change image to `postgis/postgis:16-3.4-alpine`
+- Note the internal URL (e.g., `tcp://uuid:5432`)
+
+**Redis:**
+- Coolify → Add Resource → Redis
+- Note the internal URL (e.g., `tcp://uuid:6379`)
+
+### 2. Deploy Directus
+
+- Add Resource → Docker-based
+- **Environment Variables:**
+  ```
+  KEY=nGs2S6Ue/tl03SNao1BIkXPxQtoEIZoUs+roKurD3UlSK8x9XrjyKySWf7tr0ABPkH7SB9wEzYnCDEX4ycB01Q==
+  SECRET=bVu+i1Yqp6aoxpe/o0ySfeE4GSAQCdlitOVCBZklQFcayXPQ1Nwc5jhLUjjrSIJsI1CH6UyRMsLo/fVSIf997w==
+  ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@sparkplatform.com
+  ADMIN_PASSWORD=SecurePass2024!Change
+  DB_CLIENT=postgres
+  DB_HOST=<postgres-internal-host>
+  DB_PORT=5432
+  DB_DATABASE=directus
+  DB_USER=<from-postgres-service>
+  DB_PASSWORD=<from-postgres-service>
+  PUBLIC_URL=https://spark.jumpstartscaling.com
+  CORS_ENABLED=true
+  CORS_ORIGIN=https://launch.jumpstartscaling.com
+  ```
+- **Domain:** `spark.jumpstartscaling.com`
+
+### 3. Deploy Frontend
+
+- Add Resource → Public Repository
+- Point to: `https://gitthis.jumpstartscaling.com/gatekeeper/net.git`
+- **Build Pack:** Nixpacks or Dockerfile
+- **Build Environment Variables:**
+  ```
+  PUBLIC_DIRECTUS_URL=https://spark.jumpstartscaling.com
+  PUBLIC_PLATFORM_DOMAIN=launch.jumpstartscaling.com
+  ```
+- **Domain:** `launch.jumpstartscaling.com`
+
+## Traffic Flow
+
+```
+User Browser → launch.jumpstartscaling.com (Frontend)
+             → spark.jumpstartscaling.com (Directus API)
+             
+Directus → tcp://postgres-uuid:5432 (Internal)
+        → tcp://redis-uuid:6379 (Internal)
+```
