# Choose application delivery

> Select a released workload adapter without creating competing application routes

StackKits v0.16.0 keeps application choice separate from application delivery. A workload such as Files chooses its application alternative, while `runtimeAdapterRef` chooses how that one workload is delivered.

Inspect the matrix embedded in your installed release:

```bash theme={null}
stackkit app compatibility --json
```

## Released adapter matrix

| Adapter              | v0.16.0 maturity | Deployment | Route and TLS evidence | Backup and restore |
| -------------------- | ---------------- | ---------- | ---------------------- | ------------------ |
| `standalone-compose` | supported        | yes        | yes                    | yes                |
| `coolify`            | supported        | yes        | yes                    | no                 |
| `komodo`             | beta             | yes        | yes                    | no                 |

The matrix applies to the released `files`, `photos`, and `vault` workload contracts. It is catalog compatibility, not proof that your host is healthy.

For a standalone Basement Kit, start with `standalone-compose` unless you intentionally operate one of the application platforms:

```json theme={null}
{
  "workloads": {
    "files": {
      "alternative": "cloudreve",
      "runtimeAdapterRef": "standalone-compose",
      "placement": {
        "siteRefs": ["home"],
        "nodeRefs": ["main"]
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Keep one owner per workload

* Do not route the same workload through Coolify and standalone Compose at the same time.
* Do not add Docker labels or generated routes by hand.
* Treat Komodo as a beta choice in this release, not as the default alternative.
* Validate the changed intent and inspect the resolved plan before applying a different adapter.
