Deployment Guides

Coming soon - comprehensive deployment documentation for production environments.

Overview

This section will cover deploying TimeTiles in various production environments, from single-server setups to scalable cloud deployments.

Deployment Options

Single Server Deployment

  • Docker Compose: Complete stack with one configuration
  • Manual Installation: Direct server setup with PostgreSQL
  • Resource Requirements: Minimum specifications and recommendations

Cloud Platforms

  • Vercel + PlanetScale: Frontend deployment with managed database
  • AWS: EC2, RDS, and S3 configuration
  • Google Cloud: Compute Engine and Cloud SQL setup
  • DigitalOcean: Droplet and managed database deployment

Container Orchestration

  • Kubernetes: Helm charts and configurations
  • Docker Swarm: Multi-node container deployment
  • Load Balancing: High availability configurations

Configuration

Production Checklist

  • SSL/TLS certificates configured
  • Database backups automated
  • Environment variables secured
  • Rate limiting configured
  • Monitoring and logging setup
  • Error tracking implemented
  • CDN configured for static assets
  • Health checks implemented

Performance Optimization

Database

  • Connection Pooling: PgBouncer configuration
  • Query Optimization: Indexing strategies for geospatial data
  • Backup Strategy: Automated backups and point-in-time recovery

Application

  • Caching: Redis configuration for session and API caching
  • Asset Optimization: CDN setup and static asset caching
  • Load Balancing: Multi-instance deployment strategies

Monitoring

  • Application Metrics: Performance monitoring setup
  • Database Monitoring: Query performance and resource usage
  • Error Tracking: Integration with error reporting services
  • Uptime Monitoring: Health check and alerting configuration

Security Considerations

Network Security

  • Firewall Configuration: Port restrictions and access control
  • VPN/Private Networks: Secure database access
  • DDoS Protection: CDN and load balancer configuration

Application Security

  • CORS Configuration: Cross-origin request policies
  • Rate Limiting: API protection and abuse prevention
  • Authentication: Secure session management
  • Input Validation: XSS and injection protection

Scaling Strategies

Horizontal Scaling

  • Load Balancers: Distributing traffic across instances
  • Database Read Replicas: Scaling read operations
  • Microservices: Breaking down monolithic components

Performance Tuning

  • Database Optimization: PostgreSQL and PostGIS tuning
  • Memory Management: Node.js and application optimization
  • Caching Strategies: Multi-layer caching implementation

Coming Soon

  • Step-by-step deployment guides for each platform
  • Infrastructure-as-Code templates (Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • CI/CD pipeline configurations
  • Backup and disaster recovery procedures
  • Performance benchmarking guides
  • Security hardening checklists

For immediate deployment needs, check the Development Setup guide for local installation that can be adapted for production use.
