# Deployment architectures

within hybrid environments and the Internet of Things

Deployment architectures

* Single unit of processing
* Horizontal multiple unit of processing  
* Hierarchical 
* Bare metal deployment

## IoT deployment

IoT (Internet of Things) deployment models can be considered as a catch up architecture for remote single node deployments that interact with a central master node/s. 

\[DIAGRAM]

Remote deployment targets can be considered as 

* Raspberry Pi
* Client machine
* Server
* WASM deployment ?

## Scaled deployment

      emitting type: tumblingQuoteAnalytics
      aggregate functions:
        MIN: [ask, bid]
        MAX: [ask, bid]
      policy:
        type: tumblingTime
        window size: 5000
