+# VenueAxe Redirect Service
+
+A lightweight HTTP redirect service written in Go that redirects all incoming traffic to `https://venueaxe.com`.
+
+## Features
+- **Direct Redirect**: All incoming requests redirect directly to `https://venueaxe.com` (paths and query parameters are discarded).
+- **Configurable target**: Set via `TARGET_URL` (defaults to `https://venueaxe.com`).
+- **Configurable port**: Set via `PORT` (defaults to `8080`).
+- **Graceful shutdown**: Handles `SIGINT` / `SIGTERM` signals cleanly.
+- **Zero dependencies**: Standard library only (`net/http`).
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Environment Variable | Default Value | Description |
+|---|---|---|
