-  <Card title="Kubernetes" icon="dharmachakra">
-    **Best For**: Production environments, auto-scaling, enterprise deployments
-    **Pros**: - Automatic scaling and healing - Rolling updates - Resource
-    management - Service discovery - Built-in monitoring **Cons**: - Complex
-    setup - Higher resource overhead - Learning curve - Vendor lock-in potential
-  </Card>
-
-<Card title="Docker Compose" icon="docker">
-  **Best For**: Development, testing, small to medium production **Pros**: -
-  Simple deployment - Easy local development - Version control friendly - Quick
-  setup and teardown - Cost-effective **Cons**: - Limited scaling options - No
-  automatic failover - Single host limitation - Manual monitoring setup
-</Card>
-
-  <Card title="Linux VPS" icon="server">
-    **Best For**: Full control, cost optimization, legacy environments **Pros**:
-    - Maximum control - Cost-effective - No abstraction layers - Predictable
-    performance - Easy debugging **Cons**: - Manual scaling - More maintenance
-    overhead - No built-in redundancy - Manual backup management
