Self-Host a Burla Cluster

Where can I deploy my Burla Cluster?

Burla is built to be self-hosted in the cloud, and is currently GCP-only. We fully intend to support AWS, Azure, and on-prem deployments, but don't yet. E-mail [e-mail] if you're an AWS/Azure shop and are really interested in Burla, We give access to private Burla instances hosted in our cloud for select users.

How do I install Burla in my GCP Project?

First, ensure gcloud is installed and configured correctly:

If you haven't yet, install the gcloud CLI, and login using application-default credentials. Also, ensure gcloud is pointing at the project you wish to install Burla inside:

• To view your current project run: gcloud config get project

• To change your current project run: gcloud config set project <desired-project-id>

Then deploy Burla with:

1. pip install burla

2. burla install

That's it!

Burla install requires that your user account have permission to run the following commands:

• gcloud run deploy ...

• gcloud firestore databases create ...

• gcloud compute firewall-rules create ...

• gcloud services enable ...

If you're missing any permissions, burla install will tell you which ones you still need.

Once installed, point your client at your new burla cluster by setting the enviroinment variable BURLA_API_URL to the URL of the cloud run service that was just deployed. The burla install command will print this URL as well a short quickstart when finished.
