# Flexible deployment with low-latency

Maximize efficiency and responsiveness with Cerbos' adaptable deployment models. Seamlessly integrate into your infrastructure, ensuring instantaneous authorization checks.

## Understanding deployment flexibility and low-latency

Authorization is in the blocking path of every request in an application, so ensuring permission checks are performant is key. Cerbos is designed to run locally to your application - inside of your infrastructure - with no requirement to go out to the internet to make decisions, keeping it secure and low latency.

### Adaptable, fast, and efficient
- **Multiple deployment models:** Whether you prefer Cerbos as a sidecar, service, or function, it integrates seamlessly with your existing setup.
- **Stateless authorization:** Cerbos ADP ensures real-time decisions based on the latest data, eliminating the need for application state synchronization or slow network fan-outs.
- **Low-latency checks:** With Cerbos running in your environment, authorization decisions are made locally, ensuring instantaneous checks without cloud lookups.
- **Serverless to sidecar:** Achieve unmatched scalability with deployment options ranging from serverless functions to sidecar models, catering to diverse application needs.
- **Simplified management with Cerbos Hub:** Manage deployments across multiple environments effortlessly, ensuring policies remain synchronized and up-to-date.
- **Universal deployment options:** From on-premise setups to cloud environments, and even Kubernetes, Cerbos Hub ensures smooth testing and distribution.
