# SummerCMS documentation
SummerCMS keeps what makes WinterCMS productive (plugins that extend each other, YAML-driven admin forms and lists, console scaffolding) and compiles an application into a single Go binary. The framework modules, the application's plugins, the embedded admin SPA and the console commands all ship as one executable.
Start with [Installation](setup/installation.md) to set up the toolchain and the `summer` CLI. If you know WinterCMS, read [Coming from WinterCMS](setup/coming-from-wintercms.md) for a map of its concepts to SummerCMS. The API reference section has one page per framework module.
## Where to start
- [Setup](setup/introduction.md): what SummerCMS is, installation, configuration and the move from WinterCMS.
- [Architecture](architecture/introduction.md): the single binary, Go modules, the application lifecycle and the request lifecycle.
- [Plugins](plugins/registration.md): registering a plugin, scheduling, extending other plugins and testing.
- [Backend](backend/admin-controllers.md): admin controllers, forms, lists, relations, users, settings and the admin SPA.
- [Database](database/models.md): models, migrations, queries, relations, casts, attachments and transactions.
- [Services](services/configuration.md): configuration, events, routing, authentication, mail, jobs, realtime, search and the other services, plus what SummerCMS does not provide for the frontend.
- [Console](console/introduction.md): the `summer` tool, the application binary's commands and writing your own.
