Assuming that the Core API satisfies your integration requirements, then we’d recommend running:
- Two mainnet nodes: A primary node, and a hot back-up, which can be swapped to if the primary node has issues.
- A testnet node which can be used for testing new integrations or upgrades. This can be taken down when not in use.
To configure a node for production, you have a few options:
- You can configure an Ubuntu VM to run a node using the NodeCLI - details found on our documentation site here.
- It is also possible to run the docker image in a container orchestrator - by adapting the docker compose from the testnet-node configuration for your set-up.
- You can compile your own node from source and see these release notes explain about some differences / tweaks to get it working for Babylon.
