+Deployment
+==========
+
+This guide shows how to deploy Arch directly using Docker without the archgw CLI, including basic runtime checks for routing and health monitoring.
+
+Docker Deployment
+-----------------
+
+Below is a minimal, production-ready example showing how to deploy the Arch Docker image directly and run basic runtime checks. Adjust image names, tags, and the ``arch_config.yaml`` path to match your environment.
+
+.. note::
+   You will need to pass all required environment variables that are referenced in your ``arch_config.yaml`` file.
+
+For ``arch_config.yaml``, you can use any sample configuration defined earlier in the documentation. For example, you can try the :ref:`LLM Routing <llm_router>` sample config.
+
+Docker Compose Setup
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Create a ``docker-compose.yml`` file with the following configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   # docker-compose.yml
+   services:
+     archgw:
+       image: katanemo/archgw:0.3.15
+       container_name: archgw
+       ports:
+         - "10000:10000" # ingress (client -> arch)
+         - "12000:12000" # egress (arch -> upstream/llm proxy)
+       volumes:
+         - ./arch_config.yaml:/app/arch_config.yaml:ro
+       environment:
+         - OPENAI_API_KEY=${OPENAI_API_KEY:?error}
+         - ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY:?error}
+         - MODEL_SERVER_PORT=51000
+
+Starting the Stack
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Start the services from the directory containing ``docker-compose.yml`` and ``arch_config.yaml``:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   # Set required environment variables and start services
+   OPENAI_API_KEY=xxx ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=yyy docker compose up -d
+
+Check container health and logs:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   docker compose ps
+   docker compose logs -f archgw
+
+Runtime Tests
+-------------
+
+Perform basic runtime tests to verify routing and functionality.
+
+Gateway Smoke Test
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Test the chat completion endpoint with automatic routing:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   # Request handled by the gateway. 'model: "none"' lets Arch decide routing
+   curl --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+     --data '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"tell me a joke"}], "model":"none"}' \
+     http://localhost:12000/v1/chat/completions | jq .model
+
+Expected output:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+   "gpt-4o-2024-08-06"
+
+Model-Based Routing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Test explicit provider and model routing:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Explain quantum computing"}], "model":"anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"}' \
+     http://localhost:12000/v1/chat/completions | jq .model
+
+Expected output:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+   "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+Common Issues and Solutions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Environment Variables**
+   Ensure all environment variables (``OPENAI_API_KEY``, ``ANTHROPIC_API_KEY``, etc.) used by ``arch_config.yaml`` are set before starting services.
+
+**TLS/Connection Errors**
+   If you encounter TLS or connection errors to upstream providers:
+
+   - Check DNS resolution
+   - Verify proxy settings
+   - Confirm correct protocol and port in your ``arch_config`` endpoints
+
+**Verbose Logging**
+   To enable more detailed logs for debugging:
+
+   - Run archgw with a higher component log level
+   - See the :ref:`Observability <observability>` guide for logging and monitoring details
+   - Rebuild the image if required with updated log configuration
+
+**CI/Automated Checks**
+   For continuous integration or automated testing, you can use the curl commands above as health checks in your deployment pipeline.
