Prod is a bit of a stretch. I am running a testnet4 pool online that anyone can mine to. My initial deployment was to set up the URLs, DNS records, nginx configs, and run `devenv up` on the vps. That got me from 0 to 1 but it was brittle and inefficient. It lasted about two weeks before it fell over.
I think the biggest issue was that I told the llm it was a prod instance and it wanted me to build a release binary on the vps. That maxed out the limited resources on the machine and filled up the hard drive with cargo build artifacts.
I switched to deploying binaries soon after. Much better! Now I can deploy in 5m.
