 ### 9-Container Architecture
-**MotoVaultPro uses a unified architecture:** A single-tenant application with 9 containers - 6 application (Traefik, Frontend, Backend, OCR, PostgreSQL, Redis) + 3 logging (Loki, Promtail, Grafana). Application features in `backend/src/features/[name]/` are self-contained modules within the backend service, including the platform feature for vehicle data and VIN decoding. See `docs/LOGGING.md` for unified logging system documentation.
