# Architecture Patterns

Architecture patterns describe how to deploy UMH Core for different operational requirements. Each page explains a topology: what components are involved, how they connect, what the pattern guarantees, and when to use it.

These are not step-by-step guides. They describe architectures so you can choose the right one for your site. For deployment procedures, see [Deployment](https://docs.umh.app/production/deployment). For infrastructure-level recovery (container restarts, storage, node rescheduling), see [High Availability](https://docs.umh.app/production/high-availability).
