# Future / Experimental Services

This directory contains experimental services, proof-of-concept tools, and ideas being developed for potential inclusion in Firefrost Gaming's production infrastructure.

## Purpose

- **Rapid prototyping** — Test ideas without affecting production services
- **Learning and exploration** — Try new technologies and approaches
- **Feature incubation** — Develop features before promoting to production

## Guidelines

Services in this directory:

- May be incomplete or unstable
- Are not deployed to production
- May not follow all production standards
- Can be deleted or refactored freely

## Graduation Process

When an experimental service is ready for production:

1. Move to `services/` directory
2. Add proper documentation
3. Create systemd service file
4. Add environment variable template
5. Tag initial release version
6. Deploy to appropriate server
