🏗️ COMPLEXITY BADGE: ✅ STANDARD (Developer Tool)
Executive Summary: What is it?
Runtime Deployment means installing the application as a library or package using a language-specific manager (like Pip for Python, NPM for Node.js, or Composer for PHP).
Technical Reality
- Pros: Native performance, standard for developers, easy integration with other code.
- Cons: "Dependency Hell." Conflicts between library versions can break the app. Requires managing the language runtime (e.g., Python 3.10 vs 3.12) on the server.
- Verdict: Excellent for developers and data scientists. For production servers, we recommend wrapping this in Docker to isolate dependencies.
