+## Choosing your deployment architecture
+
+The Dynamic Image Transformation solution offers two deployment architectures, each optimized for different use cases, performance requirements, and cost considerations.
+
+### Lambda Architecture
+
+This cost-optimized serverless architecture is ideal for most image transformation workloads with moderate performance requirements.
+
+**Key characteristics:**
+
+  * **Image size limit** : Up to 6 MB per image
+
+  * **Pricing model** : Pay-per-request with no idle costs
+
+  * **Scaling** : Automatic scaling with built-in high availability
+
+  * **Maintenance** : Fully managed serverless infrastructure
+
+  * **Feature set** : Core image transformation capabilities
+
+
+
+
+**Best suited for:**
+
+  * Small to medium-sized images (under 6 MB)
+
+  * Cost-sensitive deployments
+
+  * Variable or unpredictable traffic patterns
+
+  * Simple transformation requirements
+
+  * S3 only origins
+
+
+
+
+### ECS Architecture
+
+This high-performance container-based architecture supports demanding workloads and provides access to all v8.0.0 features.
+
+**Key characteristics:**
+
+  * **Image size limit** : Up to 100 MB per image
+
+  * **Pricing model** : Fixed infrastructure costs with usage-based scaling
+
+  * **Scaling** : Configurable auto-scaling with t-shirt sizing options
+
+  * **Feature set** : Complete v8.0.0 feature set including policies and non-S3 origins
+
+  * **Management** : Administrative web interface included
+
+
+
+
+**Best suited for:**
+
+  * Large images (6 MB to 100 MB)
+
+  * Enterprise deployments requiring advanced features
+
+  * Non-S3 origin requirements
+
+  * Consistent high-volume traffic
+
+  * Complex transformation workflows
+
+  * Migration from other CDN providers
+
+
+
+
+**Advanced capabilities:**
+
+  * Transformation policies with conditional logic
+
+  * Multi-origin support (S3 and external)
+
+  * Administrative interface for configuration management
+
+  * In-memory caching for optimal performance
+
+
+
+
+### Decision matrix and when to choose each
+
+Requirement | Lambda Architecture | ECS Architecture  
+---|---|---  
+**Image size** |  ≤ 6 MB |  ≤ 100 MB  
+**Cost optimization** |  Yes - Lowest cost |  Higher cost  
+**Transformation policies** |  No |  Yes  
+**Non-S3 origins** |  No |  Yes  
+**Administrative UI** |  No |  Yes  
+**Auto-scaling** |  Yes - Built-in |  Yes - Configurable
