# Deployment

FormSG offers flexible deployment options to meet different organizational needs, from quick evaluation environments to enterprise-scale production systems.

### Choosing Your Approach

**Start simple, scale as needed.** Most teams begin with a basic deployment to evaluate FormSG, then move to more robust infrastructure for production use.

#### Key Considerations

* **Timeline**: How quickly do you need FormSG running?
* **Scale**: How many users and forms will you support?
* **Infrastructure**: What platforms does your organization prefer?
* **Team**: What technical capabilities do you have available?

Each deployment guide includes migration paths to help you evolve your infrastructure as requirements change. Didn't see your preferred cloud deployment here? See [Infrastructure Guidance](/self-hosting/formsg/infrastructure-guidance.md).

## 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://international.open.gov.sg/self-hosting/formsg/deployment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
