Last Updated: March 2025
Author: Barrett Little
This document outlines the architecture and implementation for deploying Lightning Network Daemon (LND) infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The system is designed to support global, 24/7 financial transactions with enterprise-grade security, high availability, and operational maturity. This infrastructure serves as a foundational platform for building Lightning Network applications and services.

| Please could you write a commit message for my changes.\nOnly respond with the commit message. Don't give any notes.\nExplain what were the changes and why the changes were done.\nFocus the most important changes.\nUse the present tense.\nPrefix the commit message with a semantic versioning label like "feat", "chore", "fix", etc.\nHard wrap lines at 72 characters.\nEnsure the title is only 50 characters.\nDo not start any lines with the hash symbol.\n\nHere is my git diff:\n```\n%{diff}\n``` |
In all responses, use a professional and technical tone. Never use emojis, informal language, or excessive punctuation.
This document outlines the architecture and implementation details for deploying a Lightning Network Daemon (LND) infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Our setup is designed to provide a secure, scalable, and highly available environment for running LND nodes and associated services.
Multi-Environment Setup: We maintain separate environments for development, non-production, and production, each with its own set of resources and security measures.
Secure Networking: Utilizing GCP's Shared VPC for network segregation and security, with both base and restricted networks.

Yes - you can create a Kubernetes cluster with Raspberry Pis with the default operating system called Raspbian. This means you can carry on using all the tools and packages you're used to with the officially-supported OS.
This is part of a blog post Serverless Kubernetes home-lab with your Raspberry Pis written by Alex Ellis.
