+# Deploy
+
+The Go vulndb project is hosted on GCP and uses a continuous integration
+service called “Kokoro” for running tests.
+
+This directory contains files used for kokoro test job configurations and for
+building and deploying the vulnerability database and worker.
+(Additional job definitions live in an internal repository).
+
+`kokoro.sh` acts as the entry point for scripts to be run via kokoro.
+
+`build.yaml` and `gcp-deploy.sh` are used to deploy the vulnerability database
+GCS bucket.
+
+`worker.yaml` is used to build the vulnerability database worker.
