Deploying Your Crypto Trading Bot to Production
Running your crypto trading bot on a local machine is fine for testing. For production, you need a server that is always online, close to the exchange, and monitored. This guide walks through the full deployment process.
Choosing a VPS
For delta exchange algo trading, pick a VPS in AWS Mumbai or Google Cloud Mumbai to minimize latency to Delta's matching engine. A basic 2-core, 4GB RAM instance is sufficient for most bots.
Process Management with systemd
Use systemd to ensure your bot restarts automatically after crashes or reboots. Create a service file at /etc/systemd/system/tradingbot.service:
[Unit]\nDescription=Crypto Trading Bot\n[Service]\nExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/user/bot/main.py\nRestart=always\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.targetCentralized Logging
Write logs to a file with timestamps. Rotate logs daily so your disk doesn't fill up. Tools like loguru for Python make this trivial. Never rely on console output alone for a production automated crypto trading system.
