Deployment Plan

Deployment strategy for 3k GCP credits plus a dedicated machine.

Objective

Deploy Authkeep for production marketplace trust workflows with:

  • public API services
  • issuer publishing
  • settlement/reconciliation workers
  • monitoring and incident response

Infrastructure split

  • GCP: API, managed data plane, observability
  • Dedicated machine: signer-sensitive and chain watcher workloads

Domain split

  • authkeep.io/: company website
  • authkeep.io/docs: protocol/spec/conformance
  • authkeep.io/app: customer application surface

Budget envelope

Estimated monthly run-rate: USD 405 to 1,010.

At ~USD 700/month average, USD 3,000 credits provide about 4 months runway.

Rollout stages

  1. Staging bootstrap
  2. Production minimal
  3. Reliability hardening
  4. Private-cloud/on-prem packaging
