Size Profiles
This repository contains base profiles for the following maximum user counts:
- 500
- 5,000 (5k)
- 50,000 (50k)
- 100,000 (100k)
# Assumptions
These profiles were created with some assumptions in mind:
- Regular load without application-specific emphasis
- 10% concurrent user load at max on individual applications
As user profiles can vary significantly between different instances, you may want to adjust these values.
For information on adjusting values, refer to the [scaling](./scaling.md) documentation for openDesk.
# Hardware Requirements
The following table provides an overview of CPU and memory requirements, including [external services](./external-services.md).
The available memory in the cluster should be between the request and limit values. Actual memory utilization varies depending on usage patterns but will unlikely consume the complete setup limit.
| **Profile** | CPUs | Memory (Gi), request | Memory (Gi), limit |
|-------------|------|----------------------|--------------------|
| **500** | >25 | 32 | 141 |
| **5k** | >54 | 86 | 551 |
| **50k** | >206 | 422 | 2058 |
| **100k** | >336 | 711 | 3418 |
# Location
`/helmfile/environments/default-size--overrides/`
# Deployment
Set the environment variable `SIZE_PROFILE` to `500`, `5k`, `50k`, or `100k` when using helmfile to use one profile.
# Notes
The size profiles contain resource definitions for [external services](./external-services.md) that can be used as guidance for production-grade service requirements.
Large and very large instances (50k and 100k) also require more allowed concurrent connections (`max_connections`) on the databases (especially PostgreSQL) than the default value (100).
