Kubernetes Production Deployment (Recommended)

# Deploy using a standard Deployment and Service
kubectl create deployment core --image=ghcr.io/example/core-server:latest
kubectl expose deployment core --port=8080

• Elastic Scalability: Scale application pods based on user load and data volume.
• Persistent Storage: Use PersistentVolumeClaims for workspace data and object storage for attachments.
• Zero-Downtime Updates: Roll out new versions without disrupting user workflows.

Scaling Strategy

• Object Storage: Utilize S3-compatible storage for file attachments in production.
• Database Optimization: Regularly tune PostgreSQL for efficient metadata operations.
• Caching: Employ Redis for high-performance real-time state management.
• CDN Integration: Serve static frontend assets via a global CDN to enhance load times.

Backup & Safety

• Database Backups: Automate regular PostgreSQL backups and store them securely offsite.
• Volume Snapshots: Schedule snapshots of persistent volumes containing workspace data.
• HTTPS Enforcement: Always deploy Core behind a secure reverse proxy with TLS encryption.
• Network Security: Restrict access to the Core instance via corporate VPN or zero-trust network policies.
