-## Deployment Modes
+## Architecture

-BRK supports flexible deployment modes to suit different use cases:
+BRK runs as a single container that includes both the blockchain processor and API server. This simplified architecture:
+- Ensures processor and server are always in sync
+- Simplifies deployment and monitoring
+- Uses a single shared data directory

-### 1. Multi-Container Mode (Recommended)
-
-Deploy indexer and server as separate containers. This means the following:
- Better resource isolation
- Independent scaling of components
- Server doesn't need Bitcoin Core or RPC access
- Cleaner failure isolation
- Server can start independently (will serve empty data until processor indexes blocks)
+The container runs the BRK binary with `--services all` to enable both processor and server functionality.

 ```bash
-# Start both processor and server
-docker compose up brk-processor brk-server
+# Start BRK
+docker compose up

 # Or run in background
-docker compose up -d brk-processor brk-server
-```
-
-### 2. Processor-Only Mode
-
-For indexing without web interface:
-
-```bash
-docker compose up brk-processor
-```
-
-### 3. Server-Only Mode
-
-For serving pre-indexed data:
-
-```bash
-docker compose up brk-server
+docker compose up -d
 ```
