Example Production Deployment

This is an example of a production deployment for the Feed Generator.

Architecture

The production setup includes the following services:

• MongoDB: Database for storing posts and feed data
• Consumer: Service that consumes AT Protocol firehose data
• Feed Generator (AZ): Generates feeds for Azerbaijan-related content
• API: REST API service for serving feeds
• Caddy: Reverse proxy

Quick Start

1. Configure the environment:

   make configure
   

   This will:

   • Copy all example configuration files
   • Prompt for MongoDB credentials
   • Prompt for domain name and AT Protocol DID
   • Update configuration files with your values

2. Start the services:

   docker compose up -d
   

3. Check service status:

   docker compose ps
   docker compose logs
