+# Cadence Samples Usage Guide
+
+This guide explains how to build, deploy, and use the Cadence samples container for testing workflows.
+
+## Prerequisites: Domain Registration
+
+Before running any samples, you must first register the domain in Cadence. Execute this command in the cadence-frontend pod:
+
+```bash
+# Access the cadence-frontend pod
+kubectl exec -it <cadence-frontend-pod-name> -n cadence -- /bin/bash
+
+# Register the default domain
+cadence --address $(hostname -i):7833 \
+    --transport grpc \
+    --domain default \
+    domain register \
+    --retention 1
+```
+
+**Note**: Replace `<cadence-frontend-pod-name>` with your actual cadence-frontend pod name and adjust the namespace if needed.
+
+## Building the Docker Image
+
+Build the samples image with your Cadence host configuration:
+
+```bash
+docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="cadence-frontend.cadence.svc.cluster.local:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest .
+```
+
+**Important**: Replace `cadence-frontend.cadence.svc.cluster.local:7833` with your actual Cadence frontend service address.
+
+### Examples for Different Environments
+
+```bash
+# Local development
+docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="localhost:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest -f Dockerfile.samples .
+
+# Kubernetes cluster (same namespace)
+docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="cadence-frontend.cadence.svc.cluster.local:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest .
+
+# Different namespace
+docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="cadence-frontend.my-namespace.svc.cluster.local:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest .
+```
+
+## Upload to Container Registry
+
+Tag and push your image to your container registry:
+
+```bash
+# Tag the image
+docker tag cadence-samples:latest your-registry.com/cadence-samples:latest
+
+# Push to registry
+docker push your-registry.com/cadence-samples:latest
+```
+
+## Kubernetes Deployment
+
+### Pod Configuration
+
+Edit the provided YAML file:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Pod
+metadata:
+  name: cadence-samples
+  namespace: cadence # Change to your namespace
+  labels:
+    app: cadence-samples
+spec:
+  containers:
+  - name: cadence-samples
+    image: cadence-samples:latest  # Change to your registry image
+    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
+    command: ["/bin/bash"]
+    args: ["-c", "sleep infinity"]
+    workingDir: /home/cadence
+    env:
+    - name: HOME
+      value: "/home/cadence"
+    resources:
+      requests:
+        memory: "128Mi"
+        cpu: "100m"
+      limits:
+        memory: "1Gi"
+        cpu: "1"
+  restartPolicy: Always
+  securityContext:
+    runAsUser: 1001
+    runAsGroup: 1001
+    fsGroup: 1001
+```
+
+**Required Changes**:
+1. **`namespace`**: Change to your Cadence namespace
+2. **`image`**: Change to your registry image path
+
+### Deploy the Pod
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f cadence-samples-pod.yaml
+```
+
+## Using the Samples
+
+### Step 1: Access the Container
+
+```bash
+kubectl exec -it cadence-samples -n cadence -- /bin/bash
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run Workflow Examples
+
+#### Terminal 1 - Start the Worker
+```bash
+# Example: Hello World worker
+./bin/helloworld -m worker
+```
+
+#### Terminal 2 - Trigger the Workflow
+Open a second terminal and execute:
+```bash
+kubectl exec -it cadence-samples -n cadence -- /bin/bash
+./bin/helloworld -m trigger
+```
+
+#### Stop the Worker
+In Terminal 1, press `Ctrl+C` to stop the worker.
+
+### Some Available Sample Commands
+
+```bash
+# Hello World
+./bin/helloworld -m worker
+./bin/helloworld -m trigger
+
+# File Processing
+./bin/fileprocessing -m worker
+./bin/fileprocessing -m trigger
+
+# DSL Example
+./bin/dsl -m worker
+./bin/dsl -m trigger -dslConfig cmd/samples/dsl/workflow1.yaml
+./bin/dsl -m trigger -dslConfig cmd/samples/dsl/workflow2.yaml
+```
+
+## Complete Sample Documentation
+
+For all available samples, detailed explanations, and source code, visit:
+**https://github.com/cadence-workflow/cadence-samples**
+
+This repository contains comprehensive documentation for each sample workflow pattern and advanced usage examples.

+# Cadence Samples with Docker Compose
+
+This project provides a complete Cadence development environment using Docker Compose, including the core Cadence services and cadence-samples application.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- Basic understanding of Cadence workflows
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+.
+├── docker/
+│   └── Dockerfile          # Your cadence-samples Dockerfile
+├── docker-compose.yml      # Complete Cadence stack + samples
+├── config/                 # Configuration files
+├── bin/                    # Built binaries (after build)
+└── README.md              # This file
+```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Step 1: Start the Complete Stack
+
+```bash
+# Start all services (Cadence, Cassandra, Web UI, Grafana, and cadence-samples)
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Check if all services are running
+docker-compose ps
+
+# View logs to ensure everything started correctly
+docker-compose logs cadence
+```
+
+### Step 2: Wait for Services to be Ready
+
+Wait for Cadence to be fully initialized:
+
+```bash
+# Monitor Cadence logs until you see "Started"
+docker-compose logs -f cadence
+```
+
+### Step 3: Access the Cadence Web UI
+
+Open your browser and navigate to:
+- **Cadence Web UI**: http://localhost:8088
+- **Grafana**: http://localhost:3000
+- **Prometheus**: http://localhost:9090
+
+## Using the Samples
+
+### Step 1: Access the Container
+
+```bash
+docker-compose exec cadence-samples /bin/bash
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run Workflow Examples
+
+You need **two terminals** for most examples - one for the worker and another for triggering workflows.
+
+#### Terminal 1 - Start the Worker
+```bash
+# Access the container
+docker-compose exec cadence-samples /bin/bash
+
+# Example: Hello World worker
+./bin/helloworld -m worker
+```
+
+#### Terminal 2 - Trigger the Workflow
+Open a second terminal and execute:
+```bash
+# Access the container in a new session
+docker-compose exec cadence-samples /bin/bash
+
+# Trigger the workflow
+./bin/helloworld -m trigger
+```
+
+#### Stop the Worker
+In Terminal 1, press `Ctrl+C` to stop the worker.
+
+### Available Sample Commands
+
+Once inside the container, you can run various sample workflows:
+
+```bash
+# List available binaries
+ls -la ./bin/
+
+# Examples (replace with actual sample names)
+./bin/helloworld -m worker      # Start worker
+./bin/helloworld -m trigger     # Trigger workflow
+
+./bin/timer -m worker           # Timer example worker
+./bin/timer -m trigger          # Timer example trigger
+```
+
+## Updating the Docker Compose
+
+### Option 1: Update from Original Source
+
+To update the base Cadence services:
+
+1. Download the latest version:
+```bash
+curl -o docker-compose-base.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cadence-workflow/cadence/refs/heads/master/docker/docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+2. Manually merge the `cadence-samples` service from the current `docker-compose.yml`
+
+3. Test the updated configuration
+
+### Option 2: Modify the Current Configuration
+
+To update your cadence-samples service:
+
+1. **Change the Docker image**: Modify the `build` section in `docker-compose.yml`
+2. **Update environment variables**: Add or modify variables in the `environment` section
+3. **Rebuild the service**: `docker-compose build cadence-samples`
+4. **Restart the service**: `docker-compose up -d cadence-samples`
+
+### Example: Adding a New Environment Variable
+
+```yaml
+cadence-samples:
+  # ... existing configuration
+  environment:
+    - CADENCE_HOST=cadence:7833
+    - YOUR_NEW_VAR=your_value  # Add this line
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Service Not Starting
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+docker-compose ps
+
+# View logs for specific service
+docker-compose logs cadence-samples
+docker-compose logs cadence
+
+# Restart specific service
+docker-compose restart cadence-samples
+```
+
+### Connection Issues
+
+```bash
+# Test connectivity from samples to Cadence
+docker-compose exec cadence-samples ping cadence
+
+# Check if Cadence ports are accessible
+docker-compose exec cadence-samples telnet cadence 7833
+```
+
+### Rebuilding After Code Changes
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild cadence-samples after code changes
+docker-compose build cadence-samples
+
+# Restart with new build
+docker-compose up -d cadence-samples
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Make code changes** in your local files
+2. **Rebuild the service**: `docker-compose build cadence-samples`
+3. **Restart the container**: `docker-compose up -d cadence-samples`
+4. **Test your changes** using the workflow examples
+
+## Stopping the Environment
+
+```bash
+# Stop all services
+docker-compose down
+
+# Stop and remove volumes (WARNING: This will delete data)
+docker-compose down -v
+
+# Stop and remove everything including images
+docker-compose down --rmi all -v
+```
+
+## Service Ports
+
+- **Cadence Frontend**: 7833
+- **Cadence Web UI**: 8088
+- **Grafana**: 3000
+- **Prometheus**: 9090
+- **Cassandra**: 9042
+
+## Notes
+
+- The cadence-samples container runs in interactive mode by default
+- Configuration files are automatically updated to point to the correct Cadence host
+- All services use Docker internal networking for communication
+- Data persists in Docker volumes between restarts (unless explicitly removed)

-# Cadence Samples Usage Guide
-
-This guide explains how to build, deploy, and use the Cadence samples container for testing workflows.
-
-## Prerequisites: Domain Registration
-
-Before running any samples, you must first register the domain in Cadence. Execute this command in the cadence-frontend pod:
-
-```bash
-# Access the cadence-frontend pod
-kubectl exec -it <cadence-frontend-pod-name> -n cadence -- /bin/bash
-
-# Register the default domain
-cadence --address $(hostname -i):7833 \
-    --transport grpc \
-    --domain default \
-    domain register \
-    --retention 1
-```
-
-**Note**: Replace `<cadence-frontend-pod-name>` with your actual cadence-frontend pod name and adjust the namespace if needed.
-
-## Building the Docker Image
-
-Build the samples image with your Cadence host configuration:
-
-```bash
-docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="cadence-frontend.cadence.svc.cluster.local:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest .
-```
-
-**Important**: Replace `cadence-frontend.cadence.svc.cluster.local:7833` with your actual Cadence frontend service address.
-
-### Examples for Different Environments
-
-```bash
-# Local development
-docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="localhost:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest -f Dockerfile.samples .
-
-# Kubernetes cluster (same namespace)
-docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="cadence-frontend.cadence.svc.cluster.local:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest .
-
-# Different namespace
-docker build --build-arg CADENCE_HOST="cadence-frontend.my-namespace.svc.cluster.local:7833" -t cadence-samples:latest .
-```
-
-## Upload to Container Registry
-
-Tag and push your image to your container registry:
-
-```bash
-# Tag the image
-docker tag cadence-samples:latest your-registry.com/cadence-samples:latest
-
-# Push to registry
-docker push your-registry.com/cadence-samples:latest
-```
-
