Follow the steps below to deploy ToolJet on an EKS Kubernetes cluster.

:::info You should set up a PostgreSQL database manually to be used by ToolJet. We recommend using an RDS PostgreSQL database. You can find the system requirements here :::

  1. Create an EKS cluster and connect to it to start with the deployment. You can follow the steps as mentioned in the AWS documentation.

  2. Create a k8s Deployment:

The file below is just a template and might not suit production environments. You should download the file and configure parameters such as the replica count and environment variables according to your needs.

kubectl apply -f https://tooljet-deployments.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/kubernetes/deployment.yaml

Make sure to edit the environment variables in the deployment.yaml. We advise using secrets to set up sensitive information. You can check out the available options here.

  1. Create a Kubernetes service to publish the Kubernetes deployment that you have created. We have a template for exposing the ToolJet server as a service using an AWS Load Balancer.

Example:

ToolJet Database

If you intend to use this feature, you'd have to set up and deploy a PostgREST server, which helps in querying the ToolJet Database. Please follow the instructions here for additional environment variables configuration.

  1. Set up PostgREST server
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/main/deploy/kubernetes/postgrest.yaml

Update ToolJet deployment with the appropriate env variables here and apply the changes.

Upgrading to the Latest LTS Version

New LTS versions are released every 3-5 months with an end-of-life of at least 18 months. To check the latest LTS version, visit the ToolJet Docker Hub page. The LTS tags follow a naming convention with the prefix LTS- followed by the version number, for example tooljet/tooljet:EE-LTS-latest.

If this is a new installation of the application, you may start directly with the latest version. This guide is not required for new installations.

Prerequisites for Upgrading to the Latest LTS Version:

  • It is crucial to perform a comprehensive backup of your database before starting the upgrade process to prevent data loss.

  • Users on versions earlier than v2.23.0-ee2.10.2 must first upgrade to this version before proceeding to the LTS version.
