Deployment comparison

Four deployment paths supported by the product and production infrastructure.

Option Best for Highlights
Cloud SaaS Multi-site contractors, fast start app.constructionerp.app, tenant isolation, managed updates
On-Premise Server Data sovereignty and internal IT control Linux or Windows server, license authority, local data
Private VM Managed hosting with dedicated resources VPS deployment, systemd, nginx reverse proxy
Docker Deployment IT teams needing repeatable installs docker-compose.prod.yml, hardened container image

Deployment topology

SaaS is the fastest path; on-prem, VM, and Docker options share the same application core.

Cloud SaaS
On-Premise Server
Private VM
Docker Deployment

How to choose

  • Choose Cloud SaaS when you want zero infrastructure and rapid rollout across sites.
  • Choose On-Premise when regulations or policy require data to stay inside your network.
  • Choose Private VM when you want dedicated hosting without managing bare metal.
  • Choose Docker when your team standardizes on containerized delivery pipelines.
