## Deploy ScalarDB Server (recommended option)

When you deploy ScalarDB GraphQL, it is recommended to deploy ScalarDB Server between ScalarDB GraphQL and backend databases as follows.

```
[Client] ---> [ScalarDB GraphQL] ---> [ScalarDB Server] ---> [Backend databases]
```

Please deploy ScalarDB Server before you deploy ScalarDB GraphQL according to the document [How to deploy ScalarDB Server](./how-to-deploy-scalardb.md).

## Deploy ScalarDB GraphQL

```console
helm install <RELEASE_NAME> scalar-labs/scalardb-graphql -n <NAMESPACE> -f /<PATH_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUES_FILE_FOR_SCALARDB_GRAPHQL> --version <CHART_VERSION>
```

## Upgrade the deployment of ScalarDB GraphQL

```console
helm upgrade <RELEASE_NAME> scalar-labs/scalardb-graphql -n <NAMESPACE> -f /<PATH_TO_YOUR_CUSTOM_VALUES_FILE_FOR_SCALARDB_GRAPHQL> --version <CHART_VERSION>
```

## Delete the deployment of ScalarDB GraphQL

```console
helm uninstall <RELEASE_NAME> -n <NAMESPACE>
```
