WORKER FLEETS

These guides cover deploying Swamp workers in container and orchestrator environments. Each guide assumes you have a running orchestrator (swamp serve) and want to connect workers to it.

For the initial single-worker setup, see the Remote Execution tutorial. For the design rationale behind fleets, see Worker Fleets. For full CLI flag reference, see Worker Commands. To deploy the orchestrator on Kubernetes first, see Deploy swamp serve on Kubernetes.

In This Section

  • Run a Worker in Docker — build a worker image, connect it to an orchestrator with TLS, and verify dispatch
  • Run a Fleet with Docker Compose — deploy a scalable worker pool with a fleet token, configure concurrency and graceful shutdown, and run parallel workloads
  • Run a Fleet on Kubernetes — deploy workers as a Deployment or Job on minikube, configure secrets and resource limits, and scale the pool
  • Scale from Zero Workers — submit work to an empty pool, observe queueing, and have steps dispatch automatically when a worker connects
