+
+## Environment
+- ### Setup ENV variables by creating a `.env` at the root of the project:
+```
+POSTGRES_HOST=<YOUR PG HOST>
+POSTGRES_PORT=<YOUR PG PORT>
+POSTGRES_USER=<YOUR PG USER>
+POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<YOUR PG PASSWORD>
+POSTGRES_DB=<YOUR PG DATABASE NAME>
+
+DATABASE_URL=<YOUR PG DATABASE URL>
+
+PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=<YOUR PG EMAIL>
+PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=<YOUR PG PASSWORD>
+
+SIGNED_JAR_KEY=<SIGNED JAR KEY>
+```
+- ### Install SQLx CLI
+Run `cargo install sqlx-cli` to install it.
+
+## Database
+- ### Creating database
+Run `sqlx database create` to create a new database using the params given on `.env`.
+
+- ### Adding migrations

+
+## Models
+- Models are located in the `src/models` folder.
+- Models have multiple structs that aid on defining the JSON body of a certain request or the return of a query.
+- Model structs that are supposed to be used in a JSON body derive: `#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]`
+- Model structs that are used on queries derive: `#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize, Clone)]`
+
+## Handlers
+- Handler are located in the `src/handlers` folder.
+- Handlers are supposed to just call queries.
+
+## Routes
+- Routes are located in the `src/routes` folder.
+- Routes should appoint directly to an handler method, for example: `route("/users", post(user::create))`
+
+## Config
+- Config are located in the `src/config` folder.
+- Contains the configuration for the App's Database, App state and Router
+
+## Utils
+- Utils are located in the `src/utils` folder.
+
+## Structs
+- Structs are located in the `src/structs` folder.
+- Unlike model structs, the structs located here are meant for the internal functions of the app. 
+
+## Features
+- This template comes with an user `[model]`, `handler` and `routes` setup.
+- User has a simple signed cookie based authentication setup.
