# Get Started

At Juspay, we believe payment infrastructure should be transparent, adaptable, and under merchants' control—not confined by vendor restrictions. That's why we've made the bold move to open-source our Payment Orchestrator.​

This modular, composable platform allows you to deploy on-premise for full access or select only the components you need.

To run Hyperswitch locally, follow our Docker setup guide. Alternatively, explore our cloud deployment guides for additional options. ​
