Deployment Overview

Aurora can be deployed in several ways depending on your infrastructure:

Prerequisites

• Go 1.26+ — Required only for source builds
• PostgreSQL 14+ — Optional, for production persistence (usage, audit logs, keys, models). OSS defaults to SQLite with zero configuration.
• Redis 7+ — Optional, for caching and rate limiting (recommended for production)

Configuration

Aurora is configured through environment variables and optional YAML. See the Configuration guide for all available options.

Health Check

Aurora exposes /health for liveness and readiness probes. Use this in load balancers and orchestrators.
