# Production 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 should have several other components, including:
|
|
|
|
* nginx or similar, as a reverse proxy and/or load balancer for the Gunicorn server(s) inside the node
|
|
* An NTP daemon running on all machines running BigchainDB code, and possibly other machines
|
|
* A RethinkDB proxy server
|
|
* A RethinkDB "wire protocol firewall" (in the future: this component doesn't exist yet)
|
|
* Scalable storage for RethinkDB (e.g. using RAID)
|
|
* Monitoring software, to monitor all the machines in the node
|
|
* Configuration management agents (if you're using a configuration managment system that uses agents)
|
|
* Maybe more
|
|
|
|
The relationship between these components is illustrated below.
