+# E-commerce Example (kpt)
+
+This is a simple e-commerce application example packaged using **kpt**.
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Overview
+
+This project demonstrates how Kubernetes applications can be managed and customized using the **kpt toolchain**.
+
+Instead of modifying code, users can change configuration using YAML files.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Features
+
+- Simple Kubernetes Deployment using **nginx** (version pinned for reproducibility)  
+- Service to expose the application internally  
+- Easy-to-understand structure for beginners  
+- Ready to extend with custom configuration
+
+---
+
+## 📂 Structure
+
+- `deployment.yaml` → Defines the application Deployment  
+- `service.yaml` → Exposes the application via a Service  
+- `Kptfile` → Defines the kpt package metadata  
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ How to Use
+
+### 1. Deploy the application
+
+**Option A: Using kubectl only**
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml -f service.yaml
