Run a single-process site
Start an MDK site from the single-process example.
This thin page directs you to the correct location for the prerequisites, config fields, run command, smoke test, and troubleshooting.
Overview
Use the single-process site example when you want ORK, the App Node, and worker to share one Node.js process.
This page is the task guide for the single-process topology. The deployment topologies concept explains when to choose single-process instead of microservices.
Use this topology when
- You are developing locally, running demos, or writing self-contained tests
- You want a minimal-footprint deployment
- You do not need per-service restart isolation
Run the example
Follow the single-process site example:
- Start with its prerequisites
- Use the example quickstart
Next steps
- Compare the supported shapes: Deployment topologies
- Run the supervised topology — Run a microservices site
- Register a single miner before building a site config — Run a miner worker
