Deployment Overview
Deploy Aida Platform to production with confidence using our comprehensive deployment guide.
Deployment Options
1. Docker Deployment (Recommended)
Containerized deployment for easy management:
# Production deployment
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
# Development deployment
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
2. Manual Deployment
Traditional server deployment:
- Frontend: Build and serve React application
- Backend: Run Node.js server with PM2
- Database: PostgreSQL with proper configuration
- Reverse Proxy: Nginx for load balancing
3. Cloud Deployment
Deploy to cloud platforms:
- AWS: EC2, RDS, ElastiCache
- Google Cloud: Compute Engine, Cloud SQL
- Azure: Virtual Machines, Database
- DigitalOcean: Droplets, Managed Databases
