Deploying To Production

Ready to deploy to production ?

When deploying to production, you might want to work with a local PDP (A Policy-Decision-Point microservice) within your VPC. The PDP is easy to install (docker pull), and will ensure zero-latency, great performance, high availability, and improved security.

To get started with your PDP, follow the instructions here.

Installing the sidecar​

Pull our PDP container from Docker Hub (Click here to install Docker):

docker pull permitio/pdp-v2:latest

Run the container (replace the PDP_API_KEY environment variable with your API key):

docker run \
  -p 7766:7000 \
  --env PDP_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>} \
  permitio/pdp-v2:latest

Using the sidecar​

The sidecar will listen on port 7766 by default, so all you have to do is to set your PDP_URL in our SDK initialization to http://localhost:7766 and you're good to go.

For example in Node.js:

const permit = new Permit({
  pdp: "http://localhost:7766",
  token: "<CLIENT_TOKEN>"
});
