# For DevOps

TinyChain eliminates the need to manage an ever-growing "stack" of platform software which sometimes requires mutually-incompatible dependencies. With a TinyChain application, you no longer need tools like Docker and Kubernetes to package and deploy your application backend, because its "stack" is simply the TinyChain host software. You can easily deploy your application to a different cloud provider, or on-premises for a client, simply by installing a `Service`.
