  - API: HTTP health check endpoint
  - Frontend: HTTP health check

- **Resource Limits**: Added resource constraints:
  - API: 2 CPU, 2GB RAM (limit), 1 CPU, 1GB RAM (reservation)
  - Indexer: 2 CPU, 2GB RAM (limit), 0.5 CPU, 512MB RAM (reservation)
  - Frontend: 1 CPU, 1GB RAM (limit), 0.5 CPU, 512MB RAM (reservation)

- **Environment Configuration**: Created `.env.example` with all configuration options

- **Service Labels**: Added Docker labels for service identification

### 7. Documentation ✅

- **OpenAPI Specification**: Created comprehensive OpenAPI 3.0 specification:
  - All endpoints documented
  - Request/response schemas
  - Error responses
  - Authentication requirements

- **README Updates**: Updated main README with SolaceScanScout branding and features
