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.

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
