Indeed Update Modules are intended for just this use case. The exact mechanics will depend on how you plan to package your application. ie Is it a [single binary file](https://hub.mender.io/t/single-file/486/18), a [deb package](https://hub.mender.io/t/deb-packages/326/2), a [docker container](https://hub.mender.io/t/docker/324/34) or some other.

If you can provide a bit more detail regarding your setup we may be able to guide you further.
