The Apinizer platform offers three basic installation topologies suitable for different requirements and scenarios. Each topology has its own advantages, usage areas, and requirements.

​
Topology Comparison

Topology 1: Test and PoC

Test and Proof of Concept
Quick installation, low resource requirements

Topology 2: Professional Installation

Production Environments
Medium-scale enterprise applications

Topology 3: High Availability

HA Production
Critical business applications, %99.9+ uptime

Topology Selection Guide

Usage Scenarios:
  • Proof of Concept (POC) projects
  • Development and test environments
  • Low-traffic applications (~5M requests/day, 1×W4)
  • Quick installation requirements
  • Limited resources and budget
  • For training and learning purposes
Advantages:
  • Lowest resource requirements
  • Quick installation
  • Low cost
  • Simple management
Disadvantages:
  • Single point of failure risk
  • No high availability
  • Not suitable for production
  • Limited scalability
Usage Scenarios:
  • Medium-scale production environments
  • Medium-to-high-traffic applications (~20M requests/day, 4×W4)
  • Basic high availability requirements
  • Situations requiring budget optimization
  • Enterprise applications
Advantages:
  • Load balancing between worker nodes
  • Medium-level resource requirements
  • Suitable for production
  • Flexible scaling
Disadvantages:
  • Limited high availability
  • Database single point of failure risk
  • No geographic distribution
Usage Scenarios:
  • Critical production environments
  • High-traffic applications (~30M requests/day and above, 3×W8)
  • High availability requirements (%99.9+ uptime)
  • Critical business processes
  • Data security and replication requirements
Advantages:
  • High availability (%99.9+)
  • Automatic failover
  • Data replication
  • Load balancing
  • Zero-downtime updates
Disadvantages:
  • High resource requirements
  • Complex installation
  • High cost
  • Cluster management requirements

​
Scaling Strategies

​
Vertical Scaling

Increasing single server performance:
  • CPU and RAM increase
  • Disk capacity increase
  • Network bandwidth increase
Usage: When you want to use all resources
After vertical scaling, update Gateway Worker pod thread and connection pool settings according to the new resources. For tier-based recommendations, see Gateway Performance Tuning.

​
Horizontal Scaling

Increasing server count:
  • Increasing worker node count
  • Increasing MongoDB replica set node count
  • Increasing Elasticsearch cluster node count
Usage: For high availability and traffic increase requirements
Important Notes:
  • Do not use Test/PoC installations for load testing purposes! If you want to evaluate the correct configuration for load testing, please refer to our Benchmark Results page or contact us.
  • We do not recommend installing on a single server for production environments. Please evaluate such an installation configuration only for PoC environments.
  • Requirements for each topology are for minimum configuration. They should be increased according to your service loads.
