 ## Production Deployment
 
-JormunDB is designed for **local development only**. For production, use:
-
-- AWS DynamoDB (managed service)
-- DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)
-- ScyllaDB (DynamoDB-compatible)
+JormunDB is not ready for production use just yet. But there will be easy package installs, as well as a container and a helm chart

-JormunDB (formerly ZynamoDB) is a local DynamoDB replacement that speaks the DynamoDB wire protocol. Point your AWS SDK or CLI at it and use it as a drop-in development database.

 **Why Odin?** The original Zig implementation suffered from explicit allocator threading—every function taking an `allocator` parameter, every allocation needing `errdefer` cleanup. Odin's implicit context allocator system eliminates this ceremony: one `context.allocator = arena_allocator` at the request handler entry and everything downstream just works.
