Securing Your Deployment

From a security perspective, the primary activity required will be placing a load balancer with TLS in front of PowerSync.

This section is a work in progress. Please reach out on our Discord if you have specific questions.

Below is an architecture diagram of a successful deployment:

PowerSync Deployment Architecture

Data doesn’t always flow in the direction of your firewall rules, so the below table documents which components are making connections to others:

Request Originator	Request Destination	Protocol
PowerSync Service	Postgres	TCP
PowerSync Service	MongoDB	TCP
PowerSync Service	OpenTelemetry Collector	TCP or UDP
PowerSync Service	JWKS Endpoint	TCP (HTTPS)
App Client	PowerSync Service (via LB)	TCP (HTTPS)
App Client	App Backend	TCP (HTTPS)
App Backend	Postgres	TCP
