Backend Setup

Copy Markdown View Source

This guide shows how to enable FLAME.K8sBackend in an Elixir application.

1. Add Dependency

In your mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:flame_k8s, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

2. Configure FLAME Backend

In runtime configuration (usually production):

if config_env() == :prod do
  config :flame, :backend, FLAME.K8sBackend

  config :flame, FLAME.K8sBackend,
    log: :debug,
    boot_timeout: 30_000
end

3. Install Operator and CRDs

Install the operator and CRDs before running workloads.

The recommended path is remote installation from GitHub Release assets. Follow the full steps in the Operator Installation guide.

4. Run FLAME Work

Once configured, existing calls such as FLAME.call/3 and FLAME.cast/3 are executed through Kubernetes runners managed by the operator.

5. Validate Integration

Use these checks after deploy:

kubectl get flamepools -A
kubectl get flamerunners -A
kubectl get pods -A

If you see FlameRunner resources being created and moving through lifecycle phases, your backend and operator integration is healthy.
