Production Deployment Checklist¶

Given below is a checklist that will guide you to set up your production environment for WSO2 Micro Integrator.

Guideline	Details
Security hardening	Guidelines for hardening the security of a WSO2 deployment in a production environment can be discussed under three high-level categories: Product-level security OS-level security Network-level security Related links Security Guidelines for a Production Deployment
Hostname	By default, WSO2 products identify the hostname of the current machine through the Java API. However, it is recommended to configure the hostname by setting the `hostname` parameter in the `deployment.toml` file. `[server] hostname="localhost"` Related links Changing the hostname
Registry and governance	The Micro Integrator runtime uses a file-based registry instead of a database. File-based registry for the Micro Integrator runtime.
Performance Tuning	Most of the performance tuning recommendations are common to all WSO2 products. However, each WSO2 product may have additional guidelines for optimizing the performance of product-specific features. Performance tuning - WSO2 Micro Integrator
Firewalls	The following ports must be accessed when operating within a firewall: 8290 - Default HTTP port used by the Micro Integrator for proxy services and APIs. 8253 - Default HTTPS port used by the Micro Integrator for proxy services and APIs. 9164 - Default HTTPS port used by the Micro Integrator Management APIs.
Proxy servers	If the runtime is hosted behind a proxy such as ApacheHTTPD, you can configure the runtime to use the proxy server. See the following topics for instructions: Configuring a proxy server for the Micro Integrator runtime.
High availability	In the cloud native deployment, high availability should be achieved via the container orchestration system ( Ex: Kubernetes ). There are builtin readiness and liveness probes available in Micro Integrator. In a VM deployment, we can use a load balancer with multiple nodes as described here to achieve high availability.
Data backup and archiving	Implement a backup and recovery strategy for your system.
