Amplication Deployment
Amplication provides flexible and powerful deployment options for services generated using our platform. This guide provides an overview of deployment options and links to specific instructions for various deployment targets.
Understanding Amplication's Deployment Architecture
Every Amplication service consists of core components that work together to deliver your application:
Core Components
- API Server: Your main application server
- Database: Persistent data storage
Optional Components
Depending on your service requirements, you may include:
- Admin Interface (Pre-built administrative dashboard)
- Message brokers (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Caching solutions (e.g., Redis)
- Other plugins
All components are containerized and defined in your generated docker-compose file, making deployment consistent across environments.
Deployment Options
When it comes to deployment, you have several options to choose from, allowing you to select the best approach for your development workflow and production needs.
