# Deployment guide overview

> Start here to understand how Minenet deployments are structured and how to use this guide set.

If you are new to deployments in Minenet, start on this page.

This guide set is designed in order, so you can learn quickly without guessing what to read next.

## What deployments are

Deployments let you define the infrastructure you want, then apply that state safely.

You are not managing resources one by one. You are managing a versioned desired state.
Applies reconcile from the latest pushed configuration version, not unsaved draft edits.

## What you can manage

A deployment can include:

* `server`
* `proxy-velocity`
* `proxy-gate`
* `swiftbase`

## Recommended reading order

  </Step>

  <Step title="Run lifecycle and monitoring">
    Learn what happens when you apply, what run statuses mean, and how to monitor progress.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Safe rollouts and troubleshooting">
