Deployment Overview

Astron Agent is easiest to adopt in two phases: get a working environment up first, then move toward production-grade deployment and operations. This page helps you choose the right path and jump into the detailed references.

Deployment Paths

Docker Compose

Best for local evaluation, functional validation, and small-team integration work.

• Benefits: fast startup, low setup cost, ideal for local and test environments
• Typical use cases: demos, developer collaboration, first architecture validation
• Suggested entry: Quick Start

Helm / Kubernetes

Best for standardized production deployment, scaling, and long-term operations.

• Benefits: better for multi-instance rollout, elasticity, and unified operations
• Typical use cases: enterprise clusters, CI/CD, environment isolation
• Related directory: helm/

What To Decide Before Deployment

• Prepare database, cache, and object storage dependencies
• Confirm model access strategy and secret management
• Decide whether authentication is required
• Evaluate whether you need RPA, plugin, and tenant capabilities

Typical Guidance

• Need the fastest path: start with Docker Compose
• Need unified identity: review the authentication-related deployment docs first
• Planning production rollout: combine deployment, configuration, and FAQ together
