+# Publishing Mini-Runtime Helm Charts
+
+## Chart Structure
+
+The mini-runtime charts use a simple 2-chart structure:
+
+- **mini-runtime**: Base chart with templates and values
+  - Runtime & Threat-client: Use `latest` tags
+  - Kafka, Keel, Redis: Use versioned tags (stable infrastructure)
+
+- **mini-runtime-versioned**: Wrapper chart that depends on mini-runtime
+  - Overrides only Runtime & Threat-client to use specific versions
+  - Inherits all other values from mini-runtime
+
+## Publishing to Helm Registry
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Both charts must be published to your Helm repository for the dependency resolution to work when users install from the registry.
+
+### Publishing Steps
+
+When you're ready to release:
+
+1. **Update chart versions** (if needed):
+   - `charts/mini-runtime/Chart.yaml` - version field
+   - `charts/mini-runtime-versioned/Chart.yaml` - version field and dependency version
+
+2. **Update image tags** (if needed):
+   - **For infrastructure updates (Kafka/Keel/Redis)**: Update `charts/mini-runtime/values.yaml`
+   - **For application version updates**: Update `charts/mini-runtime-versioned/values.yaml`
+
+3. **Commit and push** to trigger GitHub Actions:
+   ```bash
+   git add charts/mini-runtime*
+   git commit -m "Release mini-runtime charts v0.5.9"
+   git push origin master
+   ```
+
+4. Your existing GitHub Actions workflow will automatically:
+   - Package both charts
+   - Publish to GitHub Pages
+   - Update the Helm repository index
+
+### How It Works
+
+**Local Development:**
+- mini-runtime-versioned uses `repository: file://../mini-runtime` in Chart.yaml
+- Run `helm dependency update` to link to local mini-runtime chart
+- Works perfectly for testing
+
+**Published to Registry:**
+- Users run: `helm repo add akto https://akto-api-security.github.io/helm-charts`
+- When installing mini-runtime-versioned, Helm automatically:
+  - Finds the mini-runtime dependency in the same repo
+  - Downloads and uses it
+
+### User Installation
+
+Users can now choose between two charts:
+
+```bash
+# Add the repo once
+helm repo add akto https://akto-api-security.github.io/helm-charts
+helm repo update
+
+# Install with latest application tags (runtime & threat-client)
+helm install my-runtime akto/akto-mini-runtime
+
+# OR install with all versioned tags
+helm install my-runtime akto/akto-mini-runtime-versioned
+```
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### For Feature/Template Changes
+1. Update `charts/mini-runtime/templates/` or `charts/mini-runtime/values.yaml`
+2. Bump version in both Chart.yaml files
+3. Commit and push
+
+### For Infrastructure Version Updates (Kafka/Keel/Redis)
+1. Update `charts/mini-runtime/values.yaml` with new infrastructure versions
+2. Bump version in both Chart.yaml files
+3. Commit and push
+4. Both charts will use the new infrastructure versions
+
+### For Application Version Updates (Runtime/Threat-client)
+1. Update `charts/mini-runtime-versioned/values.yaml` with new application versions
+2. Bump version in mini-runtime-versioned/Chart.yaml
+3. Commit and push
+4. mini-runtime continues using `latest`, mini-runtime-versioned uses new versions
+
+### Version Sync
+Keep these versions in sync:
+- `mini-runtime/Chart.yaml` version X.Y.Z
+- `mini-runtime-versioned/Chart.yaml` version X.Y.Z and dependency version X.Y.Z
+
+## Testing Before Publishing
+
+Always test locally before pushing:
+
+```bash
+# Test mini-runtime (latest runtime & threat-client, versioned infrastructure)
+cd charts/mini-runtime
+helm template test . | grep "image:"
+
+# Expected:
+# - akto-api-security-mini-runtime:latest
+# - confluentinc-cp-kafka:8.1.1-1-ubi9
+# - keelhq-keel:akto_v1.0.0
+# - akto-threat-detection:latest
+# - redis:7.0
+
+# Test mini-runtime-versioned (all versioned)
+cd charts/mini-runtime-versioned
+helm dependency update
+helm template test . | grep "image:"
+
+# Expected:
+# - akto-api-security-mini-runtime:1.57.6_local
+# - confluentinc-cp-kafka:8.1.1-1-ubi9
+# - keelhq-keel:akto_v1.0.0
+# - akto-threat-detection:1.6.7
+# - redis:7.0
+```
