Deployment
The Pilots Dataspace connector supports two deployment modes:
| Mode | Use case | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Local Development | Two participants on one machine for development and testing | Uses root docker-compose.yml |
| Cloud VM (Standalone) | Production — one connector per VM, each with independent keys | Uses deployment/connector/ |
The cloud VM deployment is the target for real-world use: each organization runs one connector on their own infrastructure with their own keys, identity, and trust configuration.
The local development setup runs two complete participants on a single machine, simulating two independent organizations for testing.
