+# Nginx Platform Application Example
+
+This example demonstrates a production-style Kubernetes deployment using Nginx with:
+
+- Resource requests and limits
+- Readiness and liveness probes
+- Service exposure using ClusterIP
+- Clean label/selector architecture
+- Separation of concerns (deployment + service)
+
+## Files
+- `deployment.yaml` – Application deployment configuration
+- `service.yaml` – Internal service exposure
+
+## How to deploy
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
+kubectl apply -f service.yaml
+
