Created DEPLOYMENT.md documenting Docker Compose deployment to Linode VPS. Covers architecture (NPM + backend + frontend + shared postgres/redis), step-by-step deployment, production compose override for external networks, NPM routing config, maintenance commands, and rollback procedures. Decision: Docker Compose selected over bare metal/K8s due to existing infrastructure.
