Deployment Overview

tripplan.ing supports two production deployment targets. Choose based on your infrastructure preferences.

Deployment options

	Cloudflare Workers	Docker / Node.js
Database	D1 (SQLite at the edge)	SQLite file (better-sqlite3)
Sessions	Cloudflare KV	In-memory (lost on restart)
File storage	R2 (S3-compatible)	Local filesystem
Scaling	Auto-scales globally	Single container
Cost	Free tier available, pay-per-request	Self-hosted infrastructure
CI/CD	GitHub Actions → Wrangler deploy	Docker build and push
Best for	Production with global reach	Self-hosted or air-gapped environments

Cloudflare (recommended for production)

The primary deployment target. A single Worker serves all events and the platform UI:

• D1 — SQLite database at the edge
• KV — Key-value store for sessions and OTPs
• R2 — Object storage for photos and documents
• Workers — Serverless compute

Setup: Cloudflare Workers

Docker / Node.js

For self-hosted deployments or environments without Cloudflare access:

• SQLite — Local database file
• In-memory KV — Sessions lost on container restart
• Filesystem — Photos and documents stored on disk

Setup: Docker

Deployment workflow

Regardless of runtime, the deployment flow is:

1. Configure environment — Environment & Secrets
2. Set up CI/CD — CI/CD Pipeline
3. Deploy — Push to main triggers automated deployment
4. Create events — Creating Events via the platform UI
