# Deploy Mule Applications

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

All Mule applications require deployment to a Mule runtime engine instance to run. 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 automatically
manage the Mule runtime engine instances needed to run the 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, different tools are available to deploy applications to each of the deployment targets:

> or CloudHub 2.0 environments are stopped.
