+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+### Backend (.env.local)
+```bash
+NODE_ENV=development
+PORT=4000
+DATABASE_PATH=./backend/awards.db
+ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
+ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH=<bcrypt_hash>
+CORS_ORIGIN=http://localhost:5173
+NOMINATIM_BASE_URL=https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org
+NOMINATIM_USER_AGENT=BestOfPBAwardsApp/1.0
+RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS=900000
+RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS=100
+RATE_LIMIT_NOMINATION_MAX=10
+RATE_LIMIT_EMOJI_MAX=50
+```
+
+### Frontend (frontend/.env.local)
+```bash
+VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:4000
+```
+
+### Production Environment
+The Kubernetes deployment uses secrets for sensitive values:
+- `ADMIN_USERNAME` and `ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH` are stored in `awards-secret`
+- Other environment variables are set directly in k8s.yaml
+
+## Development
+
+### Setup
+```bash
+# Install backend dependencies
+cd backend
+npm install
+
+# Install frontend dependencies
+cd ../frontend
+npm install
+```
+
+### Running Locally
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Start backend
+cd backend
+node index.js
+
+# Terminal 2: Start frontend
+cd frontend
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Access the app at http://localhost:5173
+
+### Database Operations
+```bash
+# Create tables
+node backend/migrate.js create
+
+# Seed with sample data
+node backend/migrate.js seed
+
+# Reset and seed
+node backend/migrate.js reset:seed
+
+# Backup database
+node backend/migrate.js backup
+```
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Docker installed and logged into harbor.scottyah.com
+- kubectl configured for your Kubernetes cluster
+- `awards` namespace created in Kubernetes
+- Traefik ingress controller installed
+- TLS secret `awards-tls` configured for awards.scottyah.com
+
+### Deployment Process
+```bash
+# 1. Ensure .env.local contains production secrets
+#    (ADMIN_USERNAME and ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH)
+
+# 2. Run deployment script
+./deploy.sh [tag]
+
+# The script will:
+# - Build Docker image with frontend and backend
+# - Push to harbor.scottyah.com/secure/awards
+# - Create Kubernetes secrets from .env.local
+# - Apply k8s.yaml manifests
+# - Restart the deployment
+```
+
+### Manual Deployment Steps
+If you need to deploy manually:
+
+```bash
+# Build and push
+docker build -t harbor.scottyah.com/secure/awards:latest .
+docker push harbor.scottyah.com/secure/awards:latest
+
+# Create namespace (if not exists)
+kubectl create namespace awards
+
+# Create secrets
+kubectl create secret generic awards-secret -n awards \
+  --from-literal=admin-username='admin' \
+  --from-literal=admin-password-hash='$2b$10$...'
+
+# Apply manifests
+kubectl apply -f k8s.yaml
+
+# Restart deployment
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/awards-dep -n awards
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Public Endpoints
+- `GET /awards` - Get all approved awards
+- `GET /awards/top` - Get top 5 awards by emoji reactions
+- `POST /awards` - Submit new award nomination
+- `PATCH /awards/:id/emojis` - Add emoji reaction
+- `PATCH /awards/:id/emojis/remove` - Remove emoji reaction
+- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint
+
+### Admin Endpoints (require Basic Auth)
+- `GET /awards/pending` - Get pending (unapproved) awards
+- `PATCH /awards/:id/approve` - Approve an award
+- `DELETE /awards/:id` - Reject/delete an award
+
+### Rate Limits
+- General: 100 requests per 15 minutes
+- Nominations: 10 per 15 minutes
+- Emoji reactions: 50 per 15 minutes
+
+## Security Features
+
+### Implemented (Priority 1 & 2)
+- ✅ Environment-based configuration (no hardcoded values)
+- ✅ CORS restricted to awards.scottyah.com
+- ✅ Bcrypt password hashing for admin auth
+- ✅ Rate limiting on all endpoints
+- ✅ Input validation with express-validator
+- ✅ Structured logging with Winston
+- ✅ Graceful shutdown handling
+- ✅ Health check endpoint
+- ✅ Production static file serving
+- ✅ Removed duplicate geocoding (uses server lat/lng)
+- ✅ Extracted shared EmojiPicker component
+
+### Not Yet Implemented (Priority 3)
+- ❌ Automated tests
+- ❌ Geocoding result caching
+- ❌ Pagination for awards endpoint
+- ❌ TypeScript migration
+- ❌ Database migrations system
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### awards table
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE awards (
+  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+  category TEXT NOT NULL,
+  address TEXT NOT NULL,
+  submitted_by VARCHAR(255),
+  emoji_tally TEXT DEFAULT '{}',  -- JSON string
+  submitted_date DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+  approved_date DATETIME,
+  lat REAL,
+  lng REAL
+);
+```
+
+## Monitoring & Logs
+
+### Application Logs
+- **Production:** Logs written to `/app/error.log` and `/app/combined.log`
+- **Development:** Logs output to console
+
+### Kubernetes Logs
+```bash
+# View pod logs
+kubectl logs -n awards -l app=awards --tail=100 -f
+
+# Check deployment status
+kubectl get pods -n awards
+kubectl describe deployment awards-dep -n awards
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+- Liveness probe: `GET /health` every 30s
+- Readiness probe: Same as liveness
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue:** Geocoding returns "not in Pacific Beach"
+- **Solution:** Address must contain "92109" zip code or "Pacific Beach" in the result
+
+**Issue:** Admin login fails
+- **Solution:** Check ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH is correctly set in secrets
+  ```bash
+  kubectl get secret awards-secret -n awards -o yaml
+  ```
+
+**Issue:** Frontend shows "Failed to fetch"
+- **Solution:** Check CORS_ORIGIN matches the frontend domain
+- Verify backend is running: `kubectl get pods -n awards`
+
+**Issue:** Database resets after pod restart
+- **Solution:** Ensure PersistentVolumeClaim is properly mounted
+  ```bash
+  kubectl get pvc -n awards
+  kubectl describe pvc awards-pvc -n awards
+  ```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Geocoding:** Server geocodes addresses once on submission; frontend uses cached lat/lng
+2. **Emoji Tally:** Stored as JSON string; consider dedicated table if tallies grow large
+3. **Map Rendering:** Memoized to prevent unnecessary re-renders
+4. **Static Assets:** Frontend built and served from Express in production
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Add caching for geocoding results
+- Implement pagination for large award lists
+- Add user accounts and authentication
+- Create admin dashboard with analytics
+- Add email notifications for new nominations
+- Implement search and filtering
+- Add categories system
+- Mobile app version
+
+## Admin Credentials
+
+**Development:**
+- Username: `admin`
+- Password: `AwardsPB2024!Secure`
+
+**Production:**
+- Stored in Kubernetes secret `awards-secret`
+- Generate new hash: `node -e "import('bcryptjs').then(b => b.default.hash('your-password', 10).then(console.log))"`
+
