Helix Cloud Deployment

Practical examples and patterns for typical Helix Cloud deployment workflows

Helix Cloud Deployment

1. Authenticate

   helix auth login
   
2. Initialize cloud instance

   helix add cloud --name production
   

   You cannot currently create a new cluster from the CLI. Please contact us to create a new cluster.

3. Configure production settings

   Edit helix.toml:

   [cloud.production.helix]
   cluster_id = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLUSTER_ID"
   region = "us-east-1"
   build_mode = "release"
   mcp = true
   bm25 = true
   
   [cloud.production.helix.vector_config]
   m = 32
   ef_construction = 256
   ef_search = 1024
   

   Use the cluster ID given to you by us (contact us if you don’t have yours).

4. Deploy

   helix push production
   
5. Monitor

   helix status
