Hi Rachit, Welcome to the Fineract and Mifos communities :)

Am I correct in the >> understanding? Both Fineract 1.x and Fineract-CN can be deployed privately or in the cloud. At the end of the day, both are RESTful platforms and an organization like Mifos can choose to host either of them for their partners. The key difference is that Fineract-CN is cloud native (microservices architecture providing the advantages of containerization vs the Fineract 1.x monolith, see https://pivotal.io/cloud-native) >>3. So in case of fineract-cn *are we taking multi-tenancy into >> consideration* as part of the design? Both Fineract 1.x and Fineract-CN are multi-tenant by design Regards, Vishwas +1 (202) 716 6675 On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 6:05 AM Rachit Kansal <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > My name is Rachit Kansal.
