Deployment Process

When a user initiates agent deployment through the Agent Builder, the following process executes:

1

Package Assembly:

• Core agent runtime is selected based on LLM provider

• Configuration files are generated from user parameters

• Dependencies are bundled

2

Build Process:

• Container image is constructed with all required dependencies

• Environment variables are injected (with sensitive values encrypted)

• Build artifacts are optimized for edge deployment

3

Publication:

• Built package is content-addressed and published to IPFS

• Content is pinned to multiple pinning services for redundancy

• IPNS record is updated to point to the new deployment

4

Edge Deployment:

• Serverless functions are provisioned across the edge network

• Gateway configurations are updated

• DNS entries are created or updated (for custom domains)

5

Verification:

• Deployment is tested with synthetic transactions

• Health checks confirm agent availability

• Monitoring is established

// Deployment flow

async function deployAgent(buildOutput, deploymentConfig) {
  // Generate content hash
  const contentCid = await generateContentCid(buildOutput);
  
  // Publish to IPFS
  const ipfsResults = await Promise.all(
    deploymentConfig.publish.pinningService.map(service => 
      publishToIPFS(service, contentCid, buildOutput)
    )
  );
  
  // Update IPNS (if enabled)
  if (deploymentConfig.publish.ipns) {
    await updateIPNSRecord(deploymentConfig.publish.domain, contentCid);
  }
  
  // Configure edge compute
  const computeConfig = {
    runtime: deploymentConfig.compute.runtime,
    entry: buildOutput.entrypoint,
    environmentVariables: buildOutput.env,
    memoryLimit: deploymentConfig.compute.memoryLimit,
    timeout: deploymentConfig.compute.timeoutSeconds
  };
  
  // Deploy to edge network
  const edgeDeployment = await deployToEdgeNetwork(contentCid, computeConfig);
  
  // Configure gateway
  await configureGateway(
    contentCid,
    deploymentConfig.publish.domain,
    deploymentConfig.publish.gateway.accessControl
  );
  
  // Verify deployment
  const verificationResult = await verifyDeployment(edgeDeployment.url);
  
  return {
    success: verificationResult.success,
    deploymentId: edgeDeployment.id,
    url: edgeDeployment.url,
    ipfsCid: contentCid,
    ipnsUrl: deploymentConfig.publish.ipns ? 
      `ipns://${deploymentConfig.publish.domain}` : null,
    gatewayUrl: `https://${deploymentConfig.publish.domain}`
