+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. AWS Deployment
+
+#### Using EC2
+
+**Step 1: Launch EC2 Instance**
+```bash
+# Instance type: t3.large (8GB RAM)
+# OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+# Storage: 30GB gp3
+# Security group: Allow 8501, 22, 80, 443
+```
+
+**Step 2: Install Dependencies**
+```bash
+# Update system
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt upgrade -y
+
+# Install Python and build tools
+sudo apt install -y python3.10 python3.10-venv python3-pip git
+
+# Install system libraries
+sudo apt install -y libhdf5-dev build-essential
+```
+
+**Step 3: Deploy Application**
+```bash
+# Clone and setup
+git clone <repo-url>
+cd streamlit_app
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python3.10 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Run with systemd (systemctl)
+```
+
+**Step 4: Create systemd Service**
+```bash
+# Create service file
+sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/streamlit.service
+
+# Add content:
+[Unit]
+Description=Streamlit Application
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=ubuntu
+WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/streamlit_app
+Environment="PATH=/home/ubuntu/streamlit_app/venv/bin"
+ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/streamlit_app/venv/bin/streamlit run app.py --server.port 8501
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=10
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+# Enable service
+sudo systemctl enable streamlit
+sudo systemctl start streamlit
+```
+
+#### Using ECS with Docker
+
+```bash
+# Create ECR repository
+aws ecr create-repository --repository-name spatial-metabolic-atlas
+
+# Build and push image
+docker build -t spatial-metabolic-atlas .
+docker tag spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest <aws-account>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com/spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest
+docker push <aws-account>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com/spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest
+
+# Create ECS task definition and service
+# (See AWS console for details)
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. Google Cloud Platform Deployment
+
+#### Using Cloud Run
+
+```bash
+# Authenticate
+gcloud auth login
+
+# Build and deploy directly
+gcloud run deploy spatial-metabolic-atlas \
+  --source . \
+  --platform managed \
+  --region us-central1 \
+  --memory 4Gi \
+  --timeout 3600 \
+  --set-env-vars STREAMLIT_SERVER_MAXUPLOADSIZE=2000
+
+# Or push to Container Registry first
+gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/<project>/spatial-metabolic-atlas
+gcloud run deploy spatial-metabolic-atlas \
+  --image gcr.io/<project>/spatial-metabolic-atlas \
+  --platform managed \
+  --region us-central1 \
+  --memory 4Gi
+```
+
+#### Using Compute Engine
+
+Similar to AWS EC2 setup with Ubuntu image.
+
+---
+
+### 6. Azure Deployment
+
+#### Using Azure Container Instances (ACI)
+
+```bash
+# Create resource group
+az group create --name spatial-metabolic --location eastus
+
+# Build image
+az acr build --registry <your-registry> \
+  --image spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest .
+
+# Deploy container
+az container create \
+  --resource-group spatial-metabolic \
+  --name spatial-metabolic-atlas \
+  --image <your-registry>.azurecr.io/spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest \
+  --ports 8501 \
+  --environment-variables STREAMLIT_SERVER_MAXUPLOADSIZE=2000
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7. Kubernetes Deployment
+
+#### Requirements
+- Kubernetes cluster (GKE, EKS, AKS, or local)
+- kubectl configured
+- Docker image in registry
+
+#### Deployment Steps
+
+**1. Create Docker Image**
+```bash
+docker build -t spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest .
+docker tag spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest <registry>/spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest
+docker push <registry>/spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest
+```
+
+**2. Create Kubernetes Manifests**
+
+`deployment.yaml`:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: spatial-metabolic-atlas
+  labels:
+    app: spatial-metabolic-atlas
+spec:
+  replicas: 2
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: spatial-metabolic-atlas
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:
+        app: spatial-metabolic-atlas
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: streamlit
+        image: <registry>/spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest
+        ports:
+        - containerPort: 8501
+        resources:
+          requests:
+            memory: "4Gi"
+            cpu: "2"
+          limits:
+            memory: "8Gi"
+            cpu: "4"
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: cache
+          mountPath: /app/cache
+      volumes:
+      - name: cache
+        emptyDir: {}
+---
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Service
+metadata:
+  name: spatial-metabolic-atlas-service
+spec:
+  type: LoadBalancer
+  ports:
+  - port: 80
+    targetPort: 8501
+  selector:
+    app: spatial-metabolic-atlas
+```
+
+**3. Deploy**
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
+
+# Check status
+kubectl get pods
+kubectl get svc
+
+# Access via LoadBalancer IP
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+### SSL/TLS Configuration
+```nginx
+# Nginx reverse proxy example
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name spatial-metabolic.yourdomain.com;
+    
+    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
+    
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:8501;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+- Never commit sensitive data
+- Use `.env` files (in .gitignore)
+- Use platform secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)
+
+### Data Protection
+- Implement user authentication if needed
+- Encrypt sensitive data in transit
+- Regular backups of analysis results
+- Clear cache periodically
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Performance Tuning
+
+### Memory Optimization
+```bash
+# Streamlit config for large datasets
+[server]
+maxUploadSize = 2000
+timeout = 3600
+
+[client]
+toolbarMode = "minimal"  # Reduce UI overhead
+```
+
+### Caching Strategy
+- Use @st.cache_data for immutable data
+- Use @st.cache_resource for expensive computations
+- Clear cache based on data changes
+
+### Scaling
+For high concurrency:
+- Use load balancer (nginx, HAProxy)
+- Deploy multiple Streamlit instances
+- Use external cache (Redis) for shared state
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Monitoring and Logging
+
+### Log Aggregation
+```bash
+# View container logs
+docker logs spatial-metabolic-atlas
+
+# Or with Docker Compose
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# System logs
+tail -f logs/app.log
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+```bash
+# Kubernetes health probe
+livenessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /_stcore/health
+    port: 8501
+  initialDelaySeconds: 30
+  periodSeconds: 10
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Maintenance
+
+### Regular Updates
+```bash
+# Update Python packages
+pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
+
+# Docker image updates
+docker pull spatial-metabolic-atlas:latest
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Backup Procedure
+```bash
+# Backup analysis data
+tar -czf backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz cache/ uploads/
+
+# Automated backup (cron)
+0 2 * * * tar -czf /backups/backup-$(date +\%Y\%m\%d).tar.gz /app/cache
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting
+
+### Memory Issues
+```bash
+# Check memory usage
+free -h
+
+# Increase swap
+sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
+sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
+sudo mkswap /swapfile
+sudo swapon /swapfile
