- Reducing the node counts: Some node types do not need consensus and can run with fewer nodes (but more than one for redundancy). This will also lead to reduced performance.
- GitLab Rails and Sidekiq: Stateless services don't have a minimum node count. Two are enough for redundancy.
- Gitaly and Praefect: A quorum is not strictly necessary. Two Gitaly nodes and two Praefect nodes are enough for redundancy.
- PostgreSQL and PgBouncer: A quorum is not strictly necessary. Two PostgreSQL nodes and two PgBouncer nodes are enough for redundancy.
- Running select components in reputable Cloud PaaS solutions: Select components of the GitLab setup can instead be run on Cloud Provider PaaS solutions. By doing this, additional dependent components can also be removed:
- PostgreSQL: Can be run on reputable Cloud PaaS solutions such as Google Cloud SQL or Amazon RDS. In this setup, the PgBouncer and Consul nodes are no longer required:
- Consul may still be desired if [Prometheus](../monitoring/prometheus/index.md) auto discovery is a requirement, otherwise you would need to [manually add scrape configurations](../monitoring/prometheus/index.md#adding-custom-scrape-configurations) for all nodes.
