# Production Node Assumptions
If you're not sure what we mean by a BigchainDB *node*, *cluster*, *consortium*, or *production node*, then see [the section in the Introduction where we defined those terms](../introduction.html#some-basic-vocabulary).
Be sure you know the key BigchainDB terminology:
* [BigchainDB node, BigchainDB cluster and BigchainDB consortum](https://docs.bigchaindb.com/en/latest/terminology.html)
* [dev/test node, bare-bones node and production node](../introduction.html)
We make some assumptions about production nodes:
1. **Each production node is set up and managed by an experienced professional system administrator (or a team of them).**
2. Each production node in a cluster is managed by a different person or team.
Because of the first assumption, we don't provide a detailed cookbook explaining how to secure a server, or other things that a sysadmin should know. (We do provide some [templates](../cloud-deployment-templates/index.html), but those are just a starting point.)
1. Production nodes use MongoDB, not RethinkDB.
1. Each production node is set up and managed by an experienced professional system administrator or a team of them.
1. Each production node in a cluster is managed by a different person or team.
You can use RethinkDB when building prototypes, but we don't advise or support using it in production.
