+# Modernization Plan for reno-realworld-5
+
+## Application Type
+Nodejs Application
+
+## Selected Modernization Strategy
+- **Migration Approach**: containerize-optimize
+- **Target Platform**: orchestrator
+- **Observability**: ENABLED (Prometheus metrics, health checks, tracing)
+- **Security Scanning**: ENABLED (Trivy vulnerability scanning)
+
+## Discovery Summary
+### Discovery Report
+
+#### Application Overview
+- **Type**: Node.js application
+- **Language**: TypeScript
+- **Directory Structure**: Includes TypeScript configuration files (`tsconfig.json`), Node.js package files (`package.json`, `package-lock.json`), and testing configurations (`jest.config.ts`).
+
+#### Technology Stack
+- **Framework**: Express.js (detected via `express` dependency)
+- **Other Libraries**:
+  - `@ngneat/falso`: Utility for generating fake data
+  - `@prisma/client`: Database ORM
+...
+
+## Generated Artifacts
+1. **Dockerfile**: Optimized with health checks and metrics endpoints
+2. **score.yaml**: Platform intent with service ports and DNS resource
+3. **CI Workflow**: Automated build/push to ACR with Trivy security scanning
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Review and customize generated artifacts
+2. Test container build and run
+3. Deploy to development environment using score.yaml
+4. Validate application functionality
+5. Promote to staging/production via Humanitec
+
+## Migration Strategy Details
+
+### Containerize Optimize
+Add cloud-native patterns: health checks, metrics, optimized base images.
+
+### Platform: orchestrator
+score.yaml optimized for Azure Container Apps with managed scaling and Azure-specific configuration.

-  # Gives the renovated workload a public HTTPS URL. Without this the deploy still goes

-  # hostname, so the demo's payoff (curl the renovated app) has nothing to hit.
-  #
-  # hostname is hardcoded to the apps domain deliberately: it is the only domain the apps
-  # cluster serves, and both the wildcard A record (*.apps.dev) and the cert-manager
-  # ClusterIssuer are scoped to exactly it.

-  # service_port is the Score `service.ports.web.port` below (80), NOT the container port.

-  # CAVEAT: modernization-factory's generate_score_yaml rewrites BOTH `port` and
-  # `targetPort` to the detected application port whenever that port is not 8080. An app
-  # on 3000 therefore ends up with a Service on 3000 and this Ingress pointing at a port
-  # that no longer exists. Apps already listening on 8080 (Spring PetClinic among them)
