What this documentation covers
Use the chapters to understand what each module does, who uses it, how its workflow fits the rest of the platform and which settings the operator controls. This public guide accompanies the interactive demonstration. The buyer ZIP adds source files, installation instructions, build configuration and private operational procedures.
The product is a starting point for your own live platform. Astra is the seller’s reference brand, not a brand license for your business. Configure your own identity, service policies and provider accounts before launch.
