 ## Deployment Script
 
 We also provide access to a [deployment script](https://github.com/resilientdb/resilientdb/tree/master/scripts/deploy) that allows deployment on distinct machines.
+
+## Deploy via Docker
+
+1. **Install Docker**  
+   Before getting started, make sure you have Docker installed on your system. If you don't have Docker already, you can download and install it from the official [Docker website](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/).
+
+2. **Pull the Latest ResilientDB Image**  
+   Choose the appropriate [ResilientDB image](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/expolab/resdb/general) for your machine's architecture:
+
+   - For amd architecture, run:
+     ```shell
+     docker pull expolab/resdb:amd64
+     ```
+
+   - For Apple Silicon (M1/M2) architecture, run:
+     ```shell
+     docker pull expolab/resdb:arm64
+     ```
+
+3. **Run a Container with the Pulled Image**  
+   Launch a Docker container using the ResilientDB image you just pulled:
+
+   - For amd architecture, run:
+     ```shell
+     docker run -it expolab/resdb:amd64 bash
+     ```
+
+   - For Apple Silicon (M1/M2) architecture, run:
+     ```shell
+     docker run -it expolab/resdb:arm64 bash
+     ```
+
+4. **Start the kv_service within the Container**  
+   Once you're inside the container, start the `kv_service` by running the following command:
+   ```shell
+   ./service/tools/kv/server_tools/start_kv_service.sh
+   ```
+5. **Test with Set and Get Commands**
+   Verify the functionality of the service by performing set and get operations:
+
+   - Set a test value:
+   ```shell
+   bazel-bin/service/tools/kv/api_tools/kv_service_tools service/tools/config/interface/service.config set test
+   ```
+
+   - Retrieve the test value:
+   ```
+    bazel-bin/service/tools/kv/api_tools/kv_service_tools service/tools/config/interface/service.config get test
+   ```
