# 7. Deployment View
Describes:
1. Technical infrastructure used to execute your system, with infrastructure elements like geographical locations, environments, computers, processors, channels and net topologies.
2. Mapping of (software) building blocks to that infrastructure elements.
## Infrastructure Level 1
```text
┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Host / VM │
│ ┌─────────────┐ ┌────────────────────┐ │
│ │ frontend │ │ backend │ │
│ │ (Flask) │ │ (FastAPI) │ │
│ │ :12001 │ │ :12000 │ │
│ └──────┬──────┘ └─────────┬──────────┘ │
│ │ │ │
│ └────────┬──────────┘ │
│ │ │
│ ┌───────▼────────┐ │
│ │ db (DuckDB) │ │
│ │ data/app.db │ │
│ └────────────────┘ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Motivation:** All three components run on a single VM (or as Docker containers) for simplicity and low operational overhead.
**Quality and/or Performance Features:** The frontend and backend are stateless; DuckDB persists data on the host filesystem.
**Mapping of Building Blocks to Infrastructure:**
| Building Block | Container / Process | Port |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- | ----- |
| Flask frontend | `frontend` | 12001 |
| FastAPI backend | `backend` | 12000 |
| DuckDB | File on host (`data/app.db`) | — |
## Infrastructure Level 2
### Docker Compose (Recommended for Development & Production)
All services are containerized and orchestrated with `docker compose`:
```text
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Docker Host / VM │
│ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ Docker Network: app-network (bridge) │ │
│ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │
│ │ │ Backend Container (FastAPI) │ │ │
│ │ │ - Port: 12000 │ │ │
│ │ │ - Service Name: backend │ │ │
│ │ │ - Volume Mount: /app/data ← host/data/ │ │ │
│ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │
│ │ │ Frontend Container (Flask) │ │ │
│ │ │ - Port: 12001 │ │ │
│ │ │ - Service Name: frontend │ │ │
│ │ │ - Depends on: backend (health check) │ │ │
│ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │
│ │ │ Nginx Container (Reverse Proxy) │ │ │
│ │ │ - Port: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS) │ │ │
│ │ │ - Config: nginx/docker-compose.conf │ │ │
│ │ │ - Routes: /api/* → backend:12000 │ │ │
│ │ │ / → frontend:12001 │ │ │
│ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │
│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ ▲ │
│ Host Port Bindings │
│ 80:80, 443:443, 12000:12000, 12001:12001 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

**Deployment Steps:**
1. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed
2. Create `.env` with required environment variables
3. Run: `docker compose up --build`
4. Access via browser at `http://localhost:12001` or through Nginx at `http://localhost:80`
**Benefits:**
- **Consistency**: Same containerized environment across development, testing, and production
- **Simplicity**: Single command to start entire stack
- **Portability**: Run on any system with Docker installed
- **Persistence**: DuckDB data survives container restarts via volume mounts
- **Networking**: Service names enable automatic DNS resolution (backend:12000, frontend:12001)
- **Observability**: Easy logging with `docker compose logs`
**See**: [Docker Compose Deployment Guide](./deployment/docker-compose.md) for detailed instructions.
### Coolify (Alternative for Existing Deployments)
If using Coolify instead of Docker Compose:
1. **Recommended Path**: Deploy `docker-compose.coolify.yml` as one Coolify Docker Compose resource
2. **Public Entry Point**: Route domain to `nginx` service on port 80; backend and frontend stay internal
3. **Data Persistence**: Named volume keeps DuckDB data at `/app/data`
4. **Fallback Path**: Use separate Nixpacks services only when one-stack Compose deploy is not suitable
**Note**: In Compose-based Coolify deployment, frontend reaches backend through Docker DNS at `http://backend:12000`. In Nixpacks-based deployment, use Coolify internal networking or colocate both services.
**See**: [Coolify Deployment Guide](./deployment/coolify.md) for detailed instructions.
