# System design
Below are the proposed system designs.
## On-premise/local deployment
System design for local deployment
A simplistic take on the local deployment can be seen above. Rather than building each software component from source, running them on Docker takes away much of the overhead to setup. Container deployment enables isolation of the lightweight containers running on a shared operating system. This has an advantage also in terms of scaling and take up a notch further by using Kubernetes container orchestration.
## Cloud deployment
System design for cloud deployment
The system design above describes how Nextway can be deployed on a cloud service provider such as AWS. It is important to note that this is just one example and that the deployment can be carried out on other cloud service providers such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform. For the economic aspect, the business does not have to put up capital expense and only pay what they use for the operational expense. The cost of the operations can be provided by using pricing calculators or the budget and billing reports once the system is up and running.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.next-way.org/fundamentals/system-design.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
