Hi Mikalai, It's good that you had a look on 3.0.0 documents but latest is 4.0.0. 4.0.0 has a lot of architectural improvements and i'm sure you will understand them quickly. Refer [1] for 4.0.0 docs.
Regarding developer setup, I think we have few guys who are working on running Stratos on Openstack (with docker). So if you want to run Stratos within one machine, you can have some guidance from them. Otherwise you can get a dedicated machine and setup Openstack. You can follow guides at[1] for setting up developer environment.
