  * **folkzone-social-sidekiq**: Background job processor for asynchronous tasks
  * **folkzone-social-streaming**: Real-time streaming API for live updates
  * **folkzone-social-db**: PostgreSQL database for persistent data
  * **folkzone-social-redis**: Redis for caching and job queues

===== Configuration =====

The Mastodon instance uses custom fonts mounted from ./mastodon-fonts. Email is handled via Resend SMTP. Federation is enabled with ActivityPub.
