+### Building and running your application
+
+When you're ready, start your application by running:
+`docker compose up --build`.
+
+Your application will be available at http://localhost:3630.
+
+### Deploying your application to the cloud
+
+First, build your image, e.g.: `docker build -t myapp .`.
+If your cloud uses a different CPU architecture than your development
+machine (e.g., you are on a Mac M1 and your cloud provider is amd64),
+you'll want to build the image for that platform, e.g.:
+`docker build --platform=linux/amd64 -t myapp .`.
+
+Then, push it to your registry, e.g. `docker push myregistry.com/myapp`.
+
+Consult Docker's [getting started](https://docs.docker.com/go/get-started-sharing/)
+docs for more detail on building and pushing.
