# Quickstart for Tech Leads

> Tech-lead quickstart: design enterprise-scale, deployable Aletyx automation, covering architecture styles and Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Docker deployment.

This path is for **tech leads** designing enterprise-scale automation. Rather
than a single linear tutorial, it points you to the architecture and deployment
guidance you need to design a production system.

## Prerequisites

Familiarity with your target runtime platform (Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Docker)
and your organization's deployment and DevOps practices.

## Design the architecture

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose an architecture style">
    Decide between a compact microservices architecture and an event-driven
    architecture based on your scale, coupling, and latency needs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Model decisions and processes as services">
    Package decisions (DMN/DRL) and processes (BPMN) as independently deployable,
    cloud-native services.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Plan deployment">
    Select your deployment target — Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Docker — and
    multi-environment promotion strategy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Integrate with DevOps">
    Wire builds and deployments into your CI/CD and observability tooling.
  </Step>
</Steps>
