Up to 2,000 Users

In the 2,000 users architecture, there is a moderate increase in traffic, suggesting a growing user base or expanding operations. This setup is well-suited for mid-sized companies experiencing growth or for universities seeking to accommodate their expanding user populations.

Users can be evenly distributed between 2 regions or be attached to different clusters.

Target load: API: up to 300 RPS

High Availability: The mode is enabled; multiple replicas provide higher deployment reliability under load.

Footnotes:

  • An external provisioner is deployed as Kubernetes pod.
  • It is not recommended to run provisioner daemons on coderd nodes.
  • Consider separating provisioners into different namespaces in favor of zero-trust or multi-cloud deployments.

Footnotes:

  • Assumed that a workspace user needs 2 GB memory to perform
  • Maximum number of Kubernetes workspace pods per node: 256
  • Nodes can be distributed in 2 regions, not necessarily evenly split, depending on developer team sizes

Footnotes:

  • Consider adding more replicas if the workspace activity is higher than 500 workspace builds per day or to achieve higher RPS.
