# Deployment

> Learn how to deploy Aletyx applications across cloud-native, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker, and AWS environments based on your product and use case.

30 min

Learn how to deploy Aletyx applications in various environments based on your product and use case.

***

## Cloud-Native Deployment

Deploy Kogito and Aletyx Enterprise Build of Apache KIE applications in cloud-native environments using containers and orchestration platforms.

### Kubernetes

Deploy Aletyx applications in Kubernetes clusters with complete control and scalability

[Learn More](/docs/deployment/kubernetes)

### Docker

Containerize and deploy Aletyx applications using Docker for development and testing

[Learn More](https://docs.aletyx.ai/deployment/docker/)

### Red Hat OpenShift®

Enterprise Kubernetes platform with built-in security and developer tools

[Learn More](/docs/deployment/openshift)

### Aletyx Playground

Deploy Aletyx Playground locally or in the cloud for visual development

[Learn More](/docs/components/playground/self-hosting)

***

## Decision Control Deployment

Deploy Aletyx Decision Control for enterprise decision management with governance, testing, and lifecycle management.

### Quick Start - Docker

Get Decision Control running locally in under 2 minutes with Docker

[Start Now](https://docs.aletyx.ai/decision-control/setup-and-config/#docker-deployment#docker-deployment)

### AWS Marketplace Sandbox

Quick AWS deployment for testing and evaluation with H2 database

[Deploy Sandbox](/docs/deployment/aws-marketplace/sandbox)

### Kubernetes Multi-Environment

Complete governance workflow with Dev, Test, and Production environments

[Production Setup](https://docs.aletyx.ai/decision-control/setup-and-config/#kubernetes-deployment#kubernetes-deployment)

***

## Getting Started with Deployment

For a quick deployment experience with Aletyx applications, follow these steps:

### 1. Build Your Application

```bash theme={null}
mvn clean package
```

### 2. Create a Docker Image

```bash theme={null}
docker build -t my-aletyx-app .
```

### 3. Run Your Container

```bash theme={null}
docker run -p 8080:8080 my-aletyx-app
```

***

## Continuous Integration and Deployment

For production environments, we recommend setting up CI/CD pipelines:

* **Git-Based Workflows**: Version control for all decision models and applications
* **Automated Testing**: Unit tests, integration tests, and decision validation
* **Kubernetes Operators**: Automated deployment and scaling
* **Monitoring**: CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana for observability

***

## Scaling and High Availability

Aletyx applications can be scaled horizontally for high availability:

* **Kubernetes StatefulSets**: For stateful services requiring persistent storage
* **Persistence Strategies**: PostgreSQL, RDS, or external databases
* **Load Balancing**: nginx, AWS ALB, or Kubernetes Ingress
* **Auto-Scaling**: Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) based on CPU/memory metrics
* **Multi-AZ Deployment**: Database replication and failover for production workloads

## Deployment Comparison

Choose the right deployment method for your needs:

| Method                      | Best For                               | Setup Time | Complexity | Production Ready    |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------- | ---------- | ------------------- |
| **Docker (Local)**          | Development, Testing, Quick evaluation | 2 minutes  | Low        | No (H2 database)    |
| **Docker Compose**          | Development with PostgreSQL            | 5 minutes  | Low        | For small workloads |
| **AWS Marketplace Sandbox** | Quick AWS deployment, Evaluation       | 10 minutes | Low        | For testing only    |
| **Kubernetes**              | Multi-environment governance           | 1-2 hours  | High       | Yes                 |

## Next Steps

Choose your deployment path:

**For Quick Evaluation**:

* Try [Decision Control with Docker](https://docs.aletyx.ai/decision-control/setup-and-config/#docker-deployment#docker-deployment) (2 minutes)
* Or use [AWS Marketplace Sandbox](/docs/deployment/aws-marketplace/sandbox) (10 minutes)

**For Production Deployment**:

* Set up [Kubernetes with Complete Governance](https://docs.aletyx.ai/decision-control/setup-and-config/#kubernetes-deployment#kubernetes-deployment)

**For Cloud-Native Applications**:

* Start with [Kubernetes Deployment](/docs/deployment/kubernetes)
* Or explore [OpenShift Deployment](/docs/deployment/openshift)
