+## Deploy with Database
+
+We maintain a [seperate Dockerfile](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pkgs/container/litellm-database) for reducing build time when running LiteLLM proxy with a connected Postgres Database
+
+
+
+
+```
+docker pull docker pull ghcr.io/berriai/litellm-database:main-v1.16.20
+```
+
+```
+docker run --name litellm-proxy \
+-e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://:@:/ \
+-p 4000:4000 \
+ghcr.io/berriai/litellm-database:main-v1.16.20
+```
+
+Your OpenAI proxy server is now running on `http://0.0.0.0:4000`.
+
+
+
+
+### Step 1. Create deployment.yaml
+
+```yaml
+ apiVersion: apps/v1
+ kind: Deployment
+ metadata:
+ name: litellm-deployment
+ spec:
+ replicas: 1
+ selector:
+ matchLabels:

+ env:
+ - name: DATABASE_URL
+ value: postgresql://:@:/
+```
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f /path/to/deployment.yaml
+```
+
+### Step 2. Create service.yaml
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+ name: litellm-service
+spec:
+ selector:
+ app: litellm
+ ports:
+ - protocol: TCP
+ port: 4000
+ targetPort: 4000
+ type: NodePort
+```
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f /path/to/service.yaml
+```
+
+### Step 3. Start server
+
+```
+kubectl port-forward service/litellm-service 4000:4000

+
+Your OpenAI proxy server is now running on `http://0.0.0.0:4000`.

-## Deploy with Database
-
-#### Step 1. Save the database url in your environment
-.env example: https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/docker/.env.example
-
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL = "my-postgres-db-url"
-```
-
-#### Step 2. Build docker image with build-args
-
-Set `with_database=true` in the docker build, to trigger the prisma logic to be run
-
-Example build command:
-```bash
-docker build -t my-docker-build --build-arg with_database=true .
-```
-
-#### Step 3. Run docker image
