+
+
+## Architecture
+
+This service was scaffolded using the **hello-demo** Backstage template.
+
+**Deployment flow:**
+
+1. Source cloned from `custom`
+2. Catalog entity and CI workflows overlaid by Backstage
+
+3. The Watcher scanned the repository and injected OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation via Kustomize overlay
+
+4. ArgoCD Application created targeting the `demo-apps` namespace
+5. ArgoCD continuously syncs from the `main` branch
+
+**ArgoCD sync path:** `overlays/otel`
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+```bash
+git clone https://gitea.kyndemo.live/validate/vote.git
+cd vote
+# make changes, then:
+git add . && git commit -m "your change" && git push origin main
+```
+
+ArgoCD monitors the repository and automatically syncs changes to the `demo-apps` namespace.
+
+## Rollback
+
+To roll back to a previous version:
+
+1. Open the [ArgoCD UI](https://argocd.kyndemo.live/applications/vote)
+2. Click **History and Rollback**
+3. Select the desired revision and click **Rollback**
+
+Alternatively, revert the commit in Git and push — ArgoCD will auto-sync the rollback.
+
+
+## Observability
+
+This service has OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation enabled. Traces, metrics, and logs are exported to the OTel Collector and visualised in Grafana.
+
+**Viewing telemetry:**
+
+- Open the [Grafana Dashboard](https://grafana.kyndemo.live/d/otel-app-observability-v2/opentelemetry-application-observability-testing?orgId=1&var-app=vote)
+- Filter by `app=vote` to see service-specific data
+- Check the **Alerts** tab in Backstage for any firing Grafana alerts
+
+**OTel Collector endpoint:** `http://otel-collector.monitoring.svc.cluster.local:4317`
