The snaps are deployed using Juju and the snaps are installed and upgraded directly from the snap store. It's made the deployment infrastructure feel a lot simpler and upgrades are handled in the Juju charm using a 'snap refresh'.
If you are looking for an example, take a look at the serial-vault [1] (a Go web-service). The deployment document [2] gives an idea of how we use it. The snap, charm and bundle are available on the snap store and charm store.
