Creating And Launching A Cillers System

Make sure that OrbStack (MacOS users) or Docker Desktop (Linux/Windows users) is running. The pt run stack command will just wait for it to start otherwise.

Create and launch your Cillers system by running the following commands.

cillers new my-system
cd my-system
pt run stack

Fine-Tuning Options Depending On RAM

  • If you have only 8GB of RAM you may want to run pt run stack-low-memory instead to avoid problems caused by memory constraints. If you still have memory problems, you can try running pt run stack-without-redpanda , which will start the stack without Cillers' event-streaming and integration capabilities.

Polytope

You should now see the Polytope Container Runtime UI.

Just like in any operating system, some processes run to completion and some should be kept running. You should expect that the following steps should continue to be in the "Running" state: app-api, couchbase, curity, curity-db, kafka-connect, oauth-agent, kong, redpanda, redpanda-console and web-app.

Use the guide at the bottom of the Polytope UI to navigate. You will find the Polytope UI to be incredibly helpful and powerful.

The start up will take a few minutes extra during the first startup of your system, due to downloads of Docker containers and package installations. The first startup run takes around 5 to 10 minutes.

Attention! If you are on a slow network, you may have to restart the "pt run stack" command to get the initialization to complete.

When the system is fully initialized, you have a super scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective system infrastructure that can easily be scaled up to serving 100 million requests per second running on your computer. All you need to do now is to add the specific logic that you want for your system. We will soon also make it easy to push your system to production.
