Run an MDK site
Choose and run an MDK site deployment topology.
Overview
Use these guides to choose a site deployment shape.
If Kernel, Gateway, Worker, manager, or thing are unfamiliar, read terminology first. If you are choosing between topologies, read deployment topologies.
Choose a guide
- Single-process — run Kernel, Gateway, and Workers in one Node.js process
- Supervised services — run a multi-Worker site as separate, PM2-supervised processes, from one machine up to a cross-host deployment
Next steps
- Understand the trade-offs before you choose your deployment topology
