## What it is
A sample distributed voting application composed of multiple containers (Python front-end, .NET worker, Node.js results app, Redis, Postgres) from Docker's official samples. It demonstrates running the same app with Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes.

## Use cases
- learn how to run a multi-container app with docker compose
- example of deploying an app to docker swarm
- sample kubernetes manifests for a multi-service app
- demo app for testing container orchestration setups
- reference architecture for a queue-based distributed app
- teaching docker networking between services

## When to choose
- you want a realistic multi-language sample app to learn Docker, Compose, Swarm, or Kubernetes
- you need a demo workload for testing container platforms
- you're teaching or documenting container orchestration basics

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, well-architected voting or survey application
- you need a real voting system with security or auditability guarantees
- you want a minimal single-container example
