🚀 Deployment Guide – OperaDB

This guide outlines how to deploy OperaDB in development and production environments.

🔧 Local Setup (Dev)

📦 Docker Setup (Coming Soon)

We plan to release a full Docker-based deployment package including:

  • API server
  • Frontend explorer
  • MongoDB or vector DB backend

☁️ Cloud Deployment (Optional)

OperaDB can be deployed to:

  • VPS (e.g. DigitalOcean, AWS EC2)
  • PaaS (e.g. Render, Vercel for frontend)
  • Azure App Service or AWS Lambda (with adaptation)

💾 Backup & Restore

  • Snapshots of state can be exported from database
  • Events can be replayed to recover state
  • Schema and reducer files should be version-controlled (e.g. in Git)

🔍 Monitoring

  • Use custom logging with winston or pino
  • Setup health check endpoints
  • Audit trail can be extracted from event logs

You're now ready to use OperaDB in real projects!
