Deploy Lightup

Pick a deployment model

Lightup supports three deployment models:

Lightup Cloud -- the SaaS deployment. This is the easiest setup to start with and our recommended deployment model.
Lightup Hybrid -- a managed on-prem deployment. This model deploys the Lightup dataplane on your compute environment. No data leaves your environment, not even metadata. Lightup manages the dataplane deployment for you with a dedicated control plane hosted by Lightup. This model combines the privacy of an on-prem deployment with the convenience of a SaaS model and only takes a few minutes to get started with. You can either deploy to an existing Kubernetes cluster or spin up one dedicated virtual machine. No other provisioning is needed.
Lightup Self-hosted -- a fully on-prem deployment. This is a traditional deployment model where the entire system runs on your compute environment and Lightup has no access to the deployment. This model also takes only a few minutes to get started with. Quick start only needs you to spin up one virtual machine. No other provisioning is needed.
