We\u2019re excited to announce that the first fully deployable MVP version of the Grey Hat Labs Platform is now operational and available for internal testing. This marks a major milestone for the team\u2014the first time the full multi-service system is running end-to-end in a production-like environment.<\/p>\n
What We Accomplished<\/p>\n
Over the course of this sprint, the team delivered:<\/p>\n
\ud83d\ude80 A Cloud-Hosted, Secure Demo Environment
\n\t\u2022\tThe full GHL microservice architecture (schema-engine, rlie, kgf, orchestrator) is now deployed on AWS EC2.
\n\t\u2022\tThe environment is fully isolated, HTTPS-enabled, and accessible via a dedicated domain.
\n\t\u2022\tExternal testers can now interact with the platform through a polished demo frontend.<\/p>\n
\u2699\ufe0f Robust CI\/CD & Deployment Automation
\n\t\u2022\tGitHub Actions now builds, tests, bundles, and publishes SHA-versioned Docker images to AWS ECR.
\n\t\u2022\tA unified deployment script (deploy.sh) lets us roll out updates with a single command.
\n\t\u2022\tAll infrastructure steps are fully documented so future team members can deploy confidently.<\/p>\n
\ud83e\udde9 Stability, Migrations & Service Interoperability
\n\t\u2022\tFixed cross-service environment variable inconsistencies.
\n\t\u2022\tStandardized ports, networking, and service-to-service URLs.
\n\t\u2022\tEnsured all services compile cleanly, include proper dist bundles, and run identically locally and in staging.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd10 Production-Grade Networking
\n\t\u2022\tAdded an Nginx reverse proxy for routing and TLS termination.
\n\t\u2022\tImplemented Let\u2019s Encrypt certificates for secure external access.
\n\t\u2022\tEnsured non-public endpoints remain internal and protected.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcd8 Documentation
\n\t\u2022\tCreated a complete EC2 Deployment Runbook.
\n\t\u2022\tUpdated .env.example, docker-compose files, and internal service docs.
\n\t\u2022\tPrepared everything for the next phase: user validation.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s Next<\/p>\n
With the MVP deployed, we are shifting focus toward:
\n\t\u2022\tGuided demo sessions
\n\t\u2022\tUser validation and structured feedback
\n\t\u2022\tIterating on the admin tooling and access controls
\n\t\u2022\tExploring hosted options for scalable production deployment<\/p>\n
This milestone proves the architecture works end-to-end and sets the stage for rapid iteration and onboarding of early users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
