Quick Deployment Paths

For Development/Testing

1. Use Docker Deployment for quick setup

2. Configure minimal settings (database, API keys)

3. Start services with docker-compose

4. Verify with health checks

For Production

1. Review Deployment Overview for architecture planning

2. Follow platform-specific guide (Ubuntu or Docker)

3. Complete Deployment Checklist

4. Configure monitoring and backups

5. Review Technical Architecture for optimization

Deployment Best Practices

Security

• Use strong JWT secrets and API keys

• Enable HTTPS/TLS for production

• Implement network security (firewalls, VPNs)

• Regular security updates

• Secure database credentials

Performance

• Allocate sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, storage)

• Configure connection pooling appropriately

• Use SSD storage for database

• Enable caching where appropriate

• Monitor resource usage

Reliability

• Set up automated backups

• Configure health checks

• Implement logging and monitoring

• Plan for disaster recovery

• Test failover procedures

Scalability

• Design for horizontal scaling

• Use load balancers for high availability

• Separate database and API servers

• Consider read replicas for database

• Monitor and plan capacity
