Single-node Docker
The simplest path: one server, plain Docker Compose, and a small Caddy container that handles HTTPS for you automatically.
- Good for small teams
- One machine, no orchestration
- Free automatic HTTPS
🐙
Docker Swarm
Run TestGator across a Swarm cluster with rolling updates and Docker secrets for the signing key.
- Multiple replicas
- Zero-downtime updates
- Built-in clustering
☸
Kubernetes
Deploy with plain Kubernetes manifests — Deployments, Services, and an Ingress for TLS.
- Production-grade scaling
- Works with any ingress controller
- Secrets-based key management
