# Node Components
A BigchainDB node must include, at least:
* BigchainDB Server and
* RethinkDB Server.
When doing development and testing, it's common to install both on the same machine, but in a production environment, it may make more sense to install them on separate machines.
In a production environment, a BigchainDB node can have several other components, including:
* nginx or similar, as a reverse proxy and/or load balancer for the web server
* An NTP daemon running on all machines running BigchainDB code, and possibly other machines
* A RethinkDB proxy server
* Monitoring software, to monitor all the machines in the node
* Maybe more, e.g. a configuration management server and agents on all machines
