Deployment

Install the DBNL platform in the way that best fits your needs.

DBNL is openly distributed and free to deploy in within your cloud environment or on-premise, keeping your data safe, secure, and always under your control.

There are three options to deploy the DBNL platform as a self-hosted deployment:

• Sandbox: The DBNL sandbox deployment bundles all of the DBNL services and dependencies into a single self-contained Docker container for quick proof of concepts.

• Helm Chart: The full DBNL platform can be deployed using a Helm chart to existing infrastructure provisioned by the customer.

• Terraform Module: The full DBNL platform can be deployed using a Terraform module on infrastructure provisioned by the module alongside the platform. This is options is supported on AWS, GCP, and Azure.
