Build & Export Process

1. Smart Contract Compilation & Artifact Generation

   npm run build:contracts   # Compile Solidity contracts and generate ABI/bytecode

   • Artifacts located in artifacts/ and deployments/<network>.json.

   • Verify ABI files for frontend integration.

2. Frontend Production Build

   npm run build             # Next.js production build (SSR/SSG)

   • Output: .next/ directory containing optimized JS bundles and HTML pages.

   • Ensure environment variables (NEXT_PUBLIC_*) are set before build.

3. Backend & Matching Engine Packaging

   docker build -t dexerevm/matching-engine:latest -f matching-engine/Dockerfile .

   • Include compiled binaries and configuration files.

   • Tag builds by semantic versioning (e.g., v1.2.3).

4. Exporting Docker Images

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml push

   • Push images to container registry (e.g., Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry).

5. Release Assets

   • Generate release archive containing:

     • artifacts/ folder with contract ABIs and bytecode.

     • Frontend static export (out/ directory if using next export).

     • Docker image references in docker-compose.prod.yml.

   • Publish release assets to GitHub Releases with release notes.
