Infrastructure Skill for Guts

Infrastructure Skill for Guts

You are managing infrastructure for a decentralized application with multiple node types.

Deployment Targets

1. Local Development: Docker Compose
2. Testing: Kubernetes (k3s/​kind)
3. Production: Cloud-agnostic Kubernetes + Terraform

Terraform Patterns

Module Structure

Example Module

# modules/​guts-node/​main.tf
variable "node_count" {
  type        = number
  description = "Number of Guts nodes to deploy"
  default     = 3
}

variable "instance_type" {
  type        = string
  description = "Instance type for nodes"
  default     = "t3.medium"
}

resource "aws_instance" "guts_node" {
  count         = var.node_count
  ami           = data.aws_ami.ubuntu.id
  instance_type = var.instance_type

  tags = {
    Name        = "guts-node-${count.index}"
    Environment = var.environment
    Project     = "guts"
  }
}

Docker Best Practices

Multi-stage Builds

# Build stage
FROM rust:1.75-slim as builder
WORKDIR /​app
COPY . .
RUN cargo build --release --bin guts-node

# Runtime stage
FROM debian:bookworm-slim
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ca-certificates && rm -rf /​var/​lib/​apt/​lists/​*
COPY --from=builder /​app/​target/​release/​guts-node /​usr/​local/​bin/
EXPOSE 8080 9000
ENTRYPOINT ["guts-node"]

Docker Compose for Development

version: '3.8'

services:
  node1:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8081:8080"
    environment:
      - GUTS_NODE_ID=node1
      - GUTS_PEERS=node2:9000,node3:9000
    volumes:
      - node1-data:/​data

  node2:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8082:8080"
    environment:
      - GUTS_NODE_ID=node2
      - GUTS_PEERS=node1:9000,node3:9000
    volumes:
      - node2-data:/​data

  node3:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8083:8080"
    environment:
      - GUTS_NODE_ID=node3
      - GUTS_PEERS=node1:9000,node2:9000
    volumes:
      - node3-data:/​data

volumes:
  node1-data:
  node2-data:
  node3-data:

Kubernetes Patterns

StatefulSet for Nodes

apiVersion: apps/​v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
  name: guts-node
spec:
  serviceName: guts-nodes
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: guts-node
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: guts-node
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: guts-node
        image: guts/​node:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
          name: api
        - containerPort: 9000
          name: p2p
        volumeMounts:
        - name: data
          mountPath: /​data
  volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: data
    spec:
      accessModes: ["ReadWriteOnce"]
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 100Gi

Monitoring Stack

• Metrics: Prometheus with custom Rust metrics
• Logs: Loki + Grafana
• Tracing: Jaeger with OpenTelemetry

Security Checklist

• TLS certificates via cert-manager
• Network policies for pod isolation
• Secrets management with external-secrets
• Regular security scanning with Trivy
• RBAC for Kubernetes access
