Deployment Architecture

Run Unimatrix as a managed cloud service, self-host on your own infrastructure, or deploy to a dedicated private VPC.

Deployment Comparison

	Managed Cloud	Self-Hosted Docker	Dedicated Private VPC
Setup time	Instant — register and generate API keys	Hours — provision Docker & Postgres pgvector	Tailored — isolated VPC setup by Unimatrix team
Infrastructure control	Unimatrix managed cloud	Customer-owned servers & database	Isolated single-tenant VPC or air-gapped environment
Updates & operations	Automatic zero-downtime updates	Self-managed container pulls & migrations	Fully managed by Unimatrix with SLA support
Data residency	Managed cloud database	100% internal infrastructure boundary	Isolated dedicated VPC / geographic data residency
Compliance & security	Shared multi-tenant with Postgres RLS	Customer network control & private firewall	Dedicated VPC, custom audit, and compliance agreements
Plan level	Free / Pro / Business	Enterprise plan (Starting at $1,500/mo)	Enterprise Dedicated / Custom agreement

Self-hosting and Private VPC options require an Enterprise plan. See pricing for details.

Docker and Docker Compose (or equivalent container orchestration)
A PostgreSQL instance with the pgvector extension enabled
Someone on your team to own updates, backups, and database maintenance
Environment variables for encryption keys, auth secrets, and database connection strings — see the full list in the repo's setup guide

git clone https://github.com/Cimbro-LLC/DEPLOYUNIMATRIX.git
cd UNIMATRIX
cat DOCKER_SETUP.md

2
Provision Postgres with pgvector
Enable the extension once on your database, then run the raw SQL migrations before Prisma migrations:
```
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;
```
3
Configure environment variables
Set database URLs, encryption keys, and auth secrets consistently across every service. Full variable list is documented in the repo.

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

The complete, up-to-date self-hosting instructions — including every required environment variable — live in DOCKER_SETUP.md in the repo.
