Compute Requirements

To install the control-plane, we need a Kubernetes cluster and a managed Postgres database. Truefoundry ships as a helm chart (https://github.com/truefoundry/infra-charts/tree/main/charts/truefoundry) that has configurable options to either deploy both Deployment and AI Gateway feature or just choose the one of them according to your needs. The compute requirements change based on the set of features and the scale of the number of users and requests.

Here are a few scenarios that you can choose from based on your needs.

The small tier is recommended for development purposes. Here all the components are deployed on Kubernetes and in non HA mode (single replica). This is suitable if you are just testing out the different features of Truefoundry.

This setup brings up 1 replica of the services and is not highly-available. It can enable you to test the features but we do not recommend this for production mode.

Installation Instructions

  1. Create a values file as given below and replace relevant values: 
    global:
  # Ask TrueFoundry team to provide these
  tenantName: <TENANT_NAME>
  tfyApiKey: <LICENCE_KEY>
  # Pass the secret name containing the tfy api key. Use the key 'TFY_API_KEY' for the key name
  # existingTruefoundryCredsSecret: ""
  truefoundryImagePullConfigJSON: <TRUEFOUNDRY_IMAGE_PULL_SECRET>
  # If you are using an existing image pull secret, set the name here
  # existingTruefoundryImagePullSecretName: ""
  
  # Domain to map the platform to
  controlPlaneURL: https://example.com
  resourceTier: small # or medium or large

truefoundryFrontendApp:
  # Choose the service mesh: we support both istio and k8s ingress, enable as per your setting
  # Replace `example.com` with your Domain
  istio:
    virtualservice:
      hosts:
        - example.com
      enabled: false
      gateways:

  2. Add helm repo 
    helm repo add truefoundry https://truefoundry.github.io/infra-charts
helm repo update truefoundry
  3. Install the helm chart with your values file 
    helm upgrade --install truefoundry truefoundry/truefoundry -n truefoundry --create-namespace -f truefoundry-values.yaml
