the-monkeys/monkeys_engine — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me the backend for an educational blogging platform called The Monkeys. I want something I can run locally with Docker that still feels like a real multi service app someone could deploy on premises later.

The main experience should be writers creating and managing articles across different topics, and readers being able to browse, read, and search that content easily. Please include the core backend pieces you’d expect for that, like user accounts, article data, media or document storage, search, background processing where needed, solid config and env handling, and structured logging. If the repo already has test or seed data support, make that work too so it is easy to try.

Please wire up the services, database, storage, and search so docker compose can bring everything up without a lot of manual setup. I’d also like the API and docs cleaned up enough that someone can clone the repo, start it, and understand the main flows quickly. Look up current docs online if you need to.
