# Server runtime

> How server runtimes host app routes and agent runtime services.

A server runtime is long-running compute for deployed environments.

It hosts app routes.

It can also host services that execute agent runs.

## Use this for

| Work                  | Runs on                 |
| --------------------- | ----------------------- |
| App routes            | Deployed environments   |
| Hosted agent services | Server runtime capacity |
| Runtime services      | Server runtime capacity |

## How it fits

Environments configure deployment targets.

Server runtimes provide the compute behind those targets.

Deployments assign releases to environments that run on server runtime capacity.
