<p>Changemaker Lite V2 uses a microservices architecture:</p>
<pre class="mermaid"><code>graph LR
User[User Browser] --&gt; Nginx[Nginx&lt;br/&gt;Reverse Proxy]

ExpressAPI --&gt; DB[(PostgreSQL)]
FastifyAPI --&gt; DB
ExpressAPI --&gt; Redis[(Redis)]
FastifyAPI --&gt; Redis</code></pre>
<p><strong>Key Components</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nginx</strong>: Routes requests to appropriate services based on subdomain</li>
<li><strong>Admin GUI</strong>: React application (Vite + Ant Design) for platform management</li>
<li><strong>Express API</strong>: Main backend with 14 feature modules (Prisma ORM)</li>
