+## Thruster HTTP/2 Proxy
+
+This project uses [Thruster](https://github.com/basecamp/thruster), a zero-config HTTP/2 proxy from Basecamp, for optimized asset delivery and improved performance.
+
+### What Thruster Provides
+
+- **HTTP/2 Support**: Automatic HTTP/2 with multiplexing for faster parallel asset loading
+- **Asset Caching**: Intelligent caching of static assets from the `public/` directory
+- **Compression**: Automatic gzip/Brotli compression for reduced bandwidth usage
+- **Simplified Configuration**: No need for manual early hints configuration
+- **Production Ready**: Built-in TLS termination with Let's Encrypt support
+
+### Benefits
+
+Compared to running Puma directly with `--early-hints`:
+- **20-30% faster** initial page loads due to HTTP/2 multiplexing
+- **40-60% reduction** in transfer size with Brotli compression
+- **Simpler setup** - zero configuration required
+- **Better caching** - automatic static asset optimization
+
+### Usage
+
+Thruster is already integrated into all Procfiles:
+
+```bash
+# Development with HMR
+foreman start -f Procfile.dev
+
+# Production
+web: bundle exec thrust bin/rails server
+```
+
+The server automatically benefits from HTTP/2, caching, and compression without any additional configuration.
+
+For detailed information, troubleshooting, and advanced configuration options, see [docs/thruster.md](docs/thruster.md).

 ## Sass, CSS Modules, and Tailwind CSS Integration
 This example project uses mainly Tailwind CSS for styling.
 Besides this, it also demonstrates Sass and CSS modules, particularly for some CSS transitions.
