Start from an executable example.

Local cluster

The root docker-compose.yml is the best production-shaped local example. It includes Orbita nodes, MinIO, readiness checks, smoke tests, and an optional capacity node.

Kubernetes

• deploy/helm/orbita contains the Helm chart.
• deploy/manifests/orbita.yaml is the plain-manifest topology.
• deploy/eks creates a disposable EKS test environment.

Go

The orbita-go README contains KV and Admin examples pinned to a specific wire contract.

Python conformance tests

tests/e2e contains generated-stub examples for conditions, TTLs, pagination, split/merge, credentials, and coordination patterns. It is a test harness, not a published SDK.

Deterministic simulation

The Rust simulation scenarios live with the runtime and control-plane tests. Start with the simulation design .
