# Overview
|
|
|
|
Deploying and managing a production BigchainDB node is much more involved than working with a dev/test node:
|
|
|
|
* There are more components in a production node; see [the page about node components](../nodes/node-components.html)
|
|
* Production nodes need more security
|
|
* Production nodes need monitoring
|
|
* Production nodes need maintenance, e.g. software upgrades, scaling
|
|
|
|
Thankfully, there are tools to help! We use:
|
|
|
|
* [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) to provision infrastructure such as AWS instances, storage and security groups
|
|
* [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) to manage the software installed on that infrastructure (configuration management)
