Production

Deploying ShipOS-powered applications to production requires careful consideration of security, performance, and monitoring. This guide covers best practices for a smooth launch and reliable operations.

Production deployment involves environment configuration, security hardening, performance optimization, and monitoring setup. ShipOS provides tools and guidance for each step of the process to ensure enterprise-grade reliability.

Configure production environment with secure settings:

SHIPOS_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_live_your_production_key
SHIPOS_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_your_production_key
SHIPOS_ENFORCE_HTTPS=true

SHIPOS_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_live_your_production_key
SHIPOS_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_your_production_key
SHIPOS_ENFORCE_HTTPS=true

SHIPOS_PUBLIC_KEY=pk_live_your_production_key
SHIPOS_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_your_production_key
SHIPOS_ENFORCE_HTTPS=true

const shipos = new ShipOS({
  publicKey: process.env.SHIPOS_PUBLIC_KEY,
  secretKey: process.env.SHIPOS_SECRET_KEY,
  environment: 'production',
  options: { enforceHTTPS: true, timeout: 30000 }
});

const shipos = new ShipOS({
  publicKey: process.env.SHIPOS_PUBLIC_KEY,
  secretKey: process.env.SHIPOS_SECRET_KEY,
  environment: 'production',
  options: { enforceHTTPS: true, timeout: 30000 }
});

const shipos = new ShipOS({
  publicKey: process.env.SHIPOS_PUBLIC_KEY,
  secretKey: process.env.SHIPOS_SECRET_KEY,
  environment: 'production',
  options: { enforceHTTPS: true, timeout: 30000 }
});

Security configuration is critical for production deployments. Enable HTTPS enforcement, configure CORS origins, and review all API permissions. Use production API keys that are separate from development keys and rotate them regularly according to your security policies.

Performance optimization includes configuring appropriate timeouts, implementing caching strategies, and setting up CDN distribution for static assets. ShipOS provides global edge locations for optimal performance worldwide, reducing latency for international users.

Health checks and monitoring should be configured before launch. Set up alerts for critical metrics like API response times, error rates, and billing failures. The system provides ready-made health check endpoints that integrate with most monitoring solutions including DataDog, New Relic, and custom solutions.
