Ready for Production!
18 Sep 2025While most of Swaptacular’s components have long been stable and reliable, orchestrating them to work seamlessly together is no easy task — especially when scalability and high availability come into play. The challenge intensifies even further given that Swaptacular is a financial application, with many security-critical admin tasks.
Luckily, Kubernetes is designed to solve exactly these kinds of problems!
After months of learning and tinkering with endless YAML files, I came up with a flexible template for deploying Swaptacular nodes to Kubernetes clusters. This template includes detailed step-by-step instructions, enabling anyone with a good grasp of Kubernetes to deploy their own Swaptacular nodes in a production.
Important note: The service responsible for automated currency exchanges has not yet reached version 1.0. While major changes are unlikely, some adjustments — possibly backward-incompatible ones — may still be necessary.
