# Deploying ParadeDB

> Explore the different ways to deploy ParadeDB into production

<Note>
  ParadeDB Community supports single-node deployments. Use ParadeDB Enterprise
  when ParadeDB indexes need physical replication for high availability,
  failover, or read replicas that can serve ParadeDB queries. [Contact
  us](mailto:hello@paradedb.com) for access.
</Note>

Pick the deployment path that matches where your data lives today.

[ParadeDB BYOC](#paradedb-byoc) is available for managed private deployments. [ParadeDB Cloud](#paradedb-cloud), our fully managed platform, is coming soon.

## Cloud Platforms

ParadeDB Community is supported by several cloud platforms. These all use Docker containers, which package Postgres and `pg_search` together:

* [Railway](/docs/operate/deploy/cloud-platforms/railway) — One-click deploy to Railway
* [Render](/docs/operate/deploy/cloud-platforms/render) — One-click deploy to Render
* [Fly.io](/docs/operate/deploy/cloud-platforms/fly) — Deploy on Fly.io
* [DigitalOcean](/docs/operate/deploy/cloud-platforms/digitalocean) — Deploy on a DigitalOcean Droplet
* [Dokku](/docs/operate/deploy/cloud-platforms/dokku) — Deploy with Dokku

## Self-Hosted ParadeDB

ParadeDB can be deployed as an [extension](/docs/operate/deploy/self-hosted/extension) inside an existing self-hosted Postgres or via our [Kubernetes Helm chart](/docs/operate/deploy/self-hosted/kubernetes), which is based on the [CloudNativePG](https://cloudnative-pg.io/) Helm chart. If a self-hosted production deployment needs failover or read replicas for ParadeDB queries, use ParadeDB Enterprise and configure [high availability](/docs/operate/deploy/self-hosted/high-availability).

## ParadeDB BYOC

[ParadeDB BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)](/docs/operate/deploy/byoc) is a managed deployment of ParadeDB Enterprise inside your AWS or GCP account. Please [contact sales](mailto:sales@paradedb.com) for access.

## ParadeDB Cloud

ParadeDB Cloud is fully managed ParadeDB: first-class search from Postgres, with a developer experience to match. It's coming soon. [Join the waitlist](https://www.paradedb.com/cloud) to get notified when it launches.
