 ## Deployment
 
-This project is deployed via docker compose, by using the following command in the root directory:
+This project is deployed using an automated Python CLI. All commands should be
+run from the repository root via `uv`.
+
+### 1. Initial Server Setup (Bootstrap)
+
+On the deployment server, first generate the `.env` configuration file:
 
 ```sh
-docker compose up
+uv run cli bootstrap server
+mv .env.template .env
+```
+Populate the `.env` file with the specific configuration. (S3 credentials will
+be fetched dynamically via AWS environment variables or Bitwarden during
+deployment).
+
+### 2. Pushing Updates
+
+Before deploying, it is required to merge the local `main` branch into `prod`
+and push it to the remote server. This can be done automatically from the local
+machine:
+
+```sh
+uv run cli deploy merge-and-push-prod
+```
+
+### 3. First-Time Deployment
+
+On the deployment server, spin up the infrastructure and initialize the
+databases and indices for the first time by running:
+
+```sh
+uv run cli deploy prod-deploy
+```
+
+### 4. Updating an Existing Deployment
+
+For future code updates, pull and deploy the latest changes with automatic
+healthcheck rollbacks using:
+
+```sh
+uv run cli deploy prod-update --auto-rollback
 ```
