# Deployment Options

## Deployment Overview

MadConnect supports two primary deployment models:

**Native Application Deployment:** Delivered as a native application directly inside your cloud environment (e.g., Snowflake). This ensures data privacy, scalability, and seamless integration within your existing infrastructure.

* No data leaves your cloud without your control.
* Full compliance with your security and governance policies.
* Installed directly from Snowflake Marketplace.<br>

**API-Based Deployment:** Access MadConnect’s full functionality programmatically using secure REST APIs for full automation of transfers, monitoring, and connector setup.
