# Deploy Mule Applications

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

All Mule applications are deployed to a Mule runtime engine instance. MuleSoft supports three
different deployment targets: CloudHub, Anypoint Runtime Fabric, and on-premises Mule instances.

When you deploy applications to CloudHub or to Anypoint Runtime Fabric, these services take care of
the Mule runtime engine instances needed to run applications.

If you deploy applications on-premises, the installation of Mule runtime engine is required.  
See [On-Premises Deployment Model](https://docs.mulesoft.com/on-premises/latest/mule-deployment-model) for more
information about characteristics specific to on-premises deployments.

In addition, the tools available to deploy applications to each of the deployment targets differ:

> [!NOTE] After End of Extended Support for Mule runtime 4.3, Mule applications deployed to CloudHub
> or CloudHub 2.0 environments are stopped.
