Define deployment strategy

[rerpha]

I would like to define the deployment strategy for streaming technology. Some thoughts:

• we are moving to Linux generally, and as this is a greenfield project it'd be nice to not create work for ourselves. That means we should either run data streaming software in containers, and failing that on Linux natively.
• If we're deploying everything as containers, I personally think kubernetes may be overkill at least in the first term as we don't really require horizontal scaling or high-availability. We can always move to it afterwards if we use containers.

we might consider using something like https://www.portainer.io/ https://komo.do/ or we might decide that raw compose files with a docker context is good enough.

One thing to consider here is that long term we may be tied into the rest of IBEXes release schedule. For the short term that doesn't matter.

This ticket is to have a meeting with all interested parties (after doing some research) and document the outcome on the developers manual.
