Staging Deployment

Staging environment mirrors production architecture using public testnet (Chain ID 8847) — safe for pre-production testing.

Staging vs Production

	Staging	Production
Chain ID	8847	8846
Network	Public testnet	Mainnet
Domain	*.staging.garudachain.id	*.garudachain.id
Faucet	Enabled	Disabled
Keys	Test keys OK	HSM only

RPC	https://rpc.staging.garudachain.id
Explorer	https://explorer.staging.garudachain.id
API	https://api.staging.garudachain.id
Faucet	https://faucet.staging.garudachain.id

Quick Start

# 1. Configure
cp .env.staging.example .env.staging
# Set STAGING_HOST, ACME_EMAIL

# 2. DNS A records → staging server IP
npm run staging:verify-dns

# 3. Deploy (with monitoring)
npm run staging:deploy

# 4. Smoke tests
npm run staging:smoke

# 5. Deploy testnet contracts
npm run contracts:deploy:public

Deploy Options

# Staging only
docker compose -f docker-compose.public.yml -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d --build

# Staging + monitoring
bash scripts/staging/deploy.sh --with-monitoring

Workflow

1. Develop & test locally (npm run public:up)
2. Deploy to staging → run smoke tests
3. Run security audit (npm run security:test)
4. Promote to production (npm run prod:deploy)

DNS Records

rpc.staging.garudachain.id      → <STAGING_IP>
api.staging.garudachain.id      → <STAGING_IP>
explorer.staging.garudachain.id → <STAGING_IP>
faucet.staging.garudachain.id   → <STAGING_IP>
status.staging.garudachain.id   → <STAGING_IP>
grafana.staging.garudachain.id  → <STAGING_IP>
docs.staging.garudachain.id     → <STAGING_IP>
