Deploying Your Agents

Learn how to deploy your autonomous AI agents to production

Deploying your agents is the process of making them available for use in a production environment. LogicLayer offers multiple deployment options to suit different needs and use cases.

Deployment Considerations

Before deploying an agent, consider factors like performance requirements, availability needs, security considerations, and cost constraints. These factors will help you choose the right deployment option for your specific use case.

Cloud Deployment

Cloud deployment is the most common way to deploy agents on LogicLayer. It provides a balance of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for most use cases.

How Cloud Deployment Works

When you deploy an agent to the cloud, it runs on LogicLayer's managed infrastructure. The platform handles scaling, availability, and resource management, allowing you to focus on your agent's functionality.

Cloud Deployment Process
  1. Configure your agent with the desired settings
  2. Test your agent to ensure it works as expected
  3. Click "Deploy" on the agent details page
  4. Select "Cloud Deployment" as the deployment option
  5. Configure deployment settings (resources, scaling, etc.)
  6. Click "Deploy" to start the deployment process
  7. Wait for the deployment to complete
  8. Your agent is now available for use

Deployment Settings

When deploying to the cloud, you can configure various settings to optimize your agent's performance and resource usage.

Compute Resources

Specify the CPU and memory resources allocated to your agent. Higher resources can improve performance but increase costs.

CPU
0.5 - 4 vCPUs
Memory
1GB - 16GB
Scaling

Configure how your agent scales based on demand. You can set minimum and maximum instances, as well as scaling triggers.

Min Instances
1 - 10
Max Instances
1 - 100
Scaling Metric
CPU, Memory, Requests
Availability

Configure the availability requirements for your agent. Higher availability ensures your agent remains operational even during infrastructure issues.

Availability Zones
1 - 3
Redundancy
None, Basic, High

Monitoring and Management

After deploying your agent to the cloud, you can monitor its performance and manage its configuration through the LogicLayer dashboard.

Monitoring Features:
  • Real-time performance metrics (CPU, memory, requests)
  • Run history and logs
  • Error tracking and alerting
  • Cost and usage analytics
Management Features:
  • Update deployment settings
  • Scale instances up or down
  • Pause or resume deployment
  • Rollback to previous versions

Pro Tip

Start with conservative resource allocations and scale up as needed based on actual usage patterns. This approach helps optimize costs while ensuring your agent has sufficient resources to perform well.

Deployment Best Practices

Guidelines for successful agent deployments

Following these best practices will help ensure your agent deployments are successful, reliable, and cost-effective.

Thorough Testing

Test your agent thoroughly before deployment to identify and fix issues early in the development process.

  • Test with various inputs to ensure robust handling
  • Verify that the agent produces the expected outputs
  • Check error handling and edge cases
  • Test performance under different load conditions

Resource Optimization

Optimize your agent's resource usage to improve performance and reduce costs.

  • Start with conservative resource allocations and scale as needed
  • Implement caching for frequently accessed data
  • Optimize agent logic to reduce computation time
  • Use appropriate AI models for your specific needs

Monitoring and Alerting

Set up comprehensive monitoring and alerting to quickly identify and address issues.

  • Monitor key performance metrics (success rate, runtime, etc.)
  • Set up alerts for critical issues and anomalies
  • Regularly review logs and error reports
  • Track resource usage and costs

Staged Deployment

Use a staged deployment approach to minimize risk and ensure smooth transitions.

  • Deploy to a staging environment first
  • Test thoroughly in the staging environment
  • Gradually roll out to production
  • Monitor closely during and after deployment

Documentation

Maintain comprehensive documentation for your deployed agents.

  • Document agent purpose, configuration, and behavior
  • Record deployment settings and environment details
  • Keep track of changes and updates
  • Document troubleshooting procedures and common issues

Pro Tip

Consider implementing a blue-green deployment strategy for critical agents. This approach involves maintaining two identical production environments, with only one active at a time. This allows for zero-downtime deployments and easy rollbacks if issues are detected.

Troubleshooting Deployments

Common issues and their solutions

Even with careful planning and testing, deployment issues can occur. Here are some common problems and their solutions.

Deployment Fails to Start

The deployment process fails to initiate or completes with errors.

Possible Causes:
  • Insufficient resources or quotas
  • Configuration errors or invalid settings
  • Dependency issues or missing components
  • Network or connectivity problems
Solutions:
  • Check deployment logs for specific error messages
  • Verify resource allocations and quotas
  • Review and correct configuration settings
  • Ensure all dependencies are available and compatible
  • Check network connectivity and firewall settings
Agent Performance Issues

The deployed agent is slow, unresponsive, or consumes excessive resources.

Possible Causes:
  • Insufficient resource allocation
  • Inefficient agent logic or algorithms
  • High load or traffic
  • Memory leaks or resource contention
Solutions:
  • Increase resource allocation (CPU, memory)
  • Optimize agent logic and algorithms
  • Implement caching and other performance optimizations
  • Scale horizontally by adding more instances
  • Monitor and address memory leaks or resource contention
Blockchain Transaction Failures

Transactions for blockchain deployments fail or are rejected.

Possible Causes:
  • Insufficient SOL balance for transaction fees
  • Transaction size or complexity exceeds limits
  • Network congestion or high gas prices
  • Invalid transaction parameters or signatures
Solutions:
  • Ensure sufficient SOL balance in your wallet
  • Simplify agent logic or split into multiple transactions
  • Retry during periods of lower network congestion
  • Verify transaction parameters and signatures
  • Check Solana network status and health
Agent Connectivity Issues

The deployed agent cannot connect to required services or resources.

Possible Causes:
  • Network restrictions or firewall rules
  • Invalid or expired credentials
  • Service outages or availability issues
  • Misconfigured connection settings
Solutions:
  • Verify network connectivity and firewall rules
  • Check and update credentials
  • Confirm service availability and status
  • Review and correct connection settings
  • Implement retry logic and error handling

Troubleshooting Tip

When troubleshooting deployment issues, start by checking the logs for specific error messages. Logs often contain valuable information about what went wrong and can point you in the right direction for resolving the issue.
