## Infrastructure Recommendations
Recommended specifications based on benchmark results and industry standards for API gateway deployments.
### PostgreSQL
Required for authentication, key management, and usage tracking.
| Workload | CPU | RAM | Storage | Connections |
|----------|-----|-----|---------|-------------|
| 1-2K RPS | 4-8 cores | 16GB | 200GB SSD (3000+ IOPS) | 100-200 |
| 2-5K RPS | 8 cores | 16-32GB | 500GB SSD (5000+ IOPS) | 200-500 |
| 5K+ RPS | 16+ cores | 32-64GB | 1TB+ SSD (10000+ IOPS) | 500+ |
**Configuration:** Set `proxy_batch_write_at: 60` to batch writes and reduce DB load. Total connections = pool limit × instances.
### Redis (Recommended)
Redis was not used in these benchmarks but provides significant production benefits: 60-80% reduced DB load.
| Workload | CPU | RAM |
|----------|-----|-----|
| 1-2K RPS | 2-4 cores | 8GB |
| 2-5K RPS | 4 cores | 16GB |
| 5K+ RPS | 8+ cores | 32GB+ |
**Requirements:** Redis 7.0+, AOF persistence enabled, `allkeys-lru` eviction policy.
**Configuration:**
```yaml
router_settings:
redis_host: os.environ/REDIS_HOST
redis_port: os.environ/REDIS_PORT
redis_password: os.environ/REDIS_PASSWORD
litellm_settings:
cache: True
cache_params:
type: redis
host: os.environ/REDIS_HOST
port: os.environ/REDIS_PORT
password: os.environ/REDIS_PASSWORD
```
:::tip
Use `redis_host`, `redis_port`, and `redis_password` instead of `redis_url` for ~80 RPS better performance.
:::
**Scaling:** DB connections scale linearly with instances. Consider PostgreSQL read replicas beyond 5K RPS.
See [Production Configuration](./proxy/prod) for detailed best practices.
