General information#

It is recommended to read and understand this document. It will help you to find out what components LUNA PLATFORM consists of and what tasks they solve.

Deploy should be performed in the order specified in the document.

All the services can be divided into general and optional. You can't launch and use LP without general services, whereas optional services provide extra features and are not mandatory. Most of the services have their database or file storage.
