# Local Development

Developers looking to leverage the Teller platform to build the next generation of DeFi products, can use our builder repo. 

We use the off-chains components as docker images that are distributed via kubernetes. The seperate builder repo that allows you to mount all components in local environment using docker and docker-compose:

{% embed url="<https://github.com/teller-protocol/builder>" %}

## Deployment Process

Each of the node components are stored in a docker image, which is built based on the repo, and then configured in the teller-node for helm installation.

The installation takes care of installing flux which allows for a helm operator to listen to the repo for upgrading the components settings via HelmRelease declarative configuration.
