Deployment examples: What do you want to see?

[chadbailey59]

We want to build out some code and examples to make it easier to deploy Pipecat bots. Right now, we're looking at the following services:

• Hugging Face Spaces
• runpod.io
• fly.io
• Heroku
• Cloudflare Workers

Right now, the basic structure looks like a Dockerfile running a FastAPI server that serves a static HTML frontend UI. That server also spins up bots on demand in threads. We're still figuring out how to handle Cloudflare Workers.

Where else do you want to be able to run Pipecat bots? Is there another approach that makes more sense to you?

AWS
Self Hosted Ubuntu via Docker with some sort of secure front end authentication but sounds like that’s covered??

Docker containers work well, and a general web front-end approach to auth is probably the right thing. But it depends on how you'll connect people to your Pipecat bots. Feel free to provide more details. @jptaylor probably also has thoughts.
