+# Cloud Notes App
+
+## Description
+
+Cloud Notes App is a containerized cloud-based web application for storing notes online.  
+The application allows users to add and manage notes using a modern web interface connected to a MongoDB database.  
+The project was developed as part of a Cloud Technologies deployment assignment.
+
+---
+
+## Technologies Used
+
+- Node.js
+- Express.js
+- MongoDB
+- Nginx
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+- Railway Cloud Platform
+- GitHub
+
+---
+
+## Application Architecture
+
+The application uses a multi-container architecture consisting of:
+
+1. **Node.js Backend Container**
+   - Handles API requests
+   - Connects to MongoDB
+   - Serves application logic
+
+2. **MongoDB Database Container**
+   - Stores user notes persistently
+   - Uses persistent storage volumes
+
+3. **Nginx Reverse Proxy Container**
+   - Handles HTTP traffic
+   - Proxies requests to Node.js backend
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- Add cloud notes
+- Persistent database storage
+- Responsive user interface
+- Dockerized deployment
+- Public cloud hosting
+- HTTPS support
+- MongoDB integration
+- Reverse proxy using Nginx
+- Environment variable configuration
+- Automated deployment scripts
+
+---
+
+## Cloud Platform
+
+The application is deployed publicly using the **Railway** cloud platform.
+
+Railway provides:
+- Public HTTPS access
+- Container hosting
+- Cloud networking
+- Managed MongoDB service
+
+---
+
+## Public Access
+
+The application is accessible publicly through HTTPS using a generated Railway domain.
+
+**Example:**
+```
+https://your-domain.up.railway.app
+```
+
+---
+
+## Persistent Storage
+
+MongoDB data is stored using persistent volumes to ensure that notes remain saved after application restarts.
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Instructions
+
+### Run Application
+```bash
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+### Stop Application
+```bash
+docker compose down -v
+```
+
+---
+
+## Scripts
+
+### `prepare-app.sh`
+Used to:
+- Build containers
+- Start services
+- Deploy the application
+
+### `remove-app.sh`
+Used to:
+- Stop containers
+- Remove services
+- Clean deployment resources
+
+---
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+The application uses environment variables for secure configuration.
+
+**Example:**
+```env
+MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/notes
+```
+
+> Sensitive data is not stored directly in GitHub.
+
+---
+
+## Backup Instructions
+
+MongoDB database can be backed up using:
+```bash
+mongodump
+```
+
+Backup files can later be restored using:
+```bash
+mongorestore
+```
+
+---
+
+## Viewing Logs
+
+Docker logs can be viewed using:
+```bash
+docker logs container_name
+```
+
+Railway deployment logs are available through the Railway dashboard.
+
+---
+
+## Cost Analysis
+
+Estimated cloud deployment cost for:
+- **1,000 users/day**
+- **50 GB database/storage**
+
+### Estimated Resources
+
+| Resource             | Estimated Cost    |
+|----------------------|-------------------|
+| Railway Web Service  | $5 – $10/month    |
+| MongoDB Storage      | $5 – $15/month    |
+| Network Traffic      | $2 – $5/month     |
+
+### Estimated Annual Cost
+
+Approximately **$150 – $300 per year**, depending on traffic and storage usage.

+
+## Requirements for Running
+
+The following software is required:
+- Docker Desktop
+- Docker Compose
+- Git
+- Internet connection
+
+**Supported operating systems:**
+- Windows
+- Linux
+- macOS
