Deployment Guide for Devity

Overview

This document outlines the steps to deploy the Devity Backend, Devity Console, and Devity SDKs in a production environment. It also covers best practices for infrastructure setup, scalability, and security.

Prerequisites

  • A cloud provider account (AWS, GCP, or Azure) or an on-premises server.
  • Docker & Docker Compose installed.
  • Kubernetes (optional for scaling).
  • CI/CD pipeline setup (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins).
  • Domain & SSL certificates (for secure API and Console access).

Deployment Steps

1. Devity Backend Deployment (FastAPI)

a. Containerization

  1. Build the Docker image: sh docker build -t devity-backend .
  2. Run the container: sh docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name devity-backend devity-backend

b. Cloud Deployment (Optional)

  • Deploy using AWS ECS, Google Cloud Run, or Azure Container Instances.
  • Alternatively, use Kubernetes: sh kubectl apply -f k8s/devity-backend-deployment.yaml

2. Devity Console Deployment (Flutter Web)

a. Build Flutter Web App

  1. Build the web app: sh flutter build web
  2. Serve with Nginx:
  3. Move the build/web folder to the server.
  4. Configure Nginx: nginx server { listen 80; server_name devity-console.com; root /var/www/devity-console; index index.html; }
  5. Restart Nginx: sh sudo systemctl restart nginx

b. Deploy to Cloud

  • Upload the built files to Firebase Hosting, Vercel, or Netlify.
  • If using AWS S3 + CloudFront: sh aws s3 sync build/web s3://devity-console-bucket --delete

3. Devity SDK Deployment

a. Flutter SDK

  • Publish to pub.dev: sh flutter pub publish

b. Next.js SDK (Future)

  • Deploy as an npm package: sh npm publish --access public

Scaling & Security Best Practices

  • Use Auto Scaling for backend API (AWS ASG, GCP Autoscaler).
  • Enable HTTPS using Let's Encrypt or Cloudflare.
  • Set up CI/CD for automatic deployments.
  • Use database backups (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Firebase Firestore backups).
  • Implement rate limiting and API authentication (JWT, OAuth2).

Monitoring & Logging

  • Use Prometheus + Grafana for API monitoring.
  • Enable CloudWatch, Stackdriver, or Datadog for logging.
  • Set up alerts for high latency, errors, and downtime.

Rollback Strategy

  • Keep previous versions of backend & console images.
  • Use feature flags to enable/disable new features.
  • Implement blue-green deployments for zero downtime.

Conclusion

Following this guide ensures a robust, scalable, and secure deployment for Devity. Keep monitoring logs and performance metrics for continuous improvement!
