+# WG-Easy Helm Chart Development Pattern
+
+This repository demonstrates a structured approach to developing and deploying Helm charts with Replicated integration. It focuses on a progressive development workflow that builds complexity incrementally, allowing developers to get fast feedback at each stage.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+The WG-Easy Helm Chart pattern is built on five fundamental principles:
+
+### 1. Progressive Complexity
+
+Start simple with individual chart validation and progressively move to more complex environments. This allows issues to be caught early when they are easier to fix.
+
+- Begin with local chart validation
+- Move to single chart deployments
+- Progress to multi-chart integration
+- Finally test in production-like environments
+
+### 2. Fast Feedback Loops
+
+Get immediate feedback at each development stage by automating testing and validation. This shortens the overall development cycle.
+
+- Automated chart validation
+- Quick cluster creation and deployment
+- Standardized testing at each stage
+- Fast iteration between changes
+
+### 3. Reproducible Steps
+
+Ensure consistent environments and processes across all stages of development, eliminating "works on my machine" issues.
+
+- Consistent chart configurations
+- Automated environment setup
+- Deterministic dependency management
+- Standardized deployment procedures
+
+### 4. Modular Configuration
+
+Allow different components to own their configuration independently, which can be merged at release time.
+
+- Per-chart configuration files
+- Automatic configuration merging
+- Clear ownership boundaries
+- Simplified collaborative development
+
+### 5. Automation First
+
+Use tools to automate repetitive tasks, reducing human error and increasing development velocity.
+
+- Task-based workflow automation
+- Helmfile for orchestration
+- Automated validation and testing
+- Streamlined release process

+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+![Architecture Diagram](docs/architecture.png)
+
+Key components:
+- **Taskfile**: Orchestrates the workflow with automated tasks
+- **Helmfile**: Manages chart dependencies and installation order
+- **Wrapped Charts**: Encapsulate upstream charts for consistency
+- **Shared Templates**: Provide reusable components across charts
+- **Replicated Integration**: Enables enterprise distribution
