## GitLab components and configuration instructions
The GitLab application depends on the following [components](../../development/architecture.md#component-diagram)
and services. They are included in the reference architectures along with our
recommendations for their use and configuration. They are presented in the order
in which you would typically configure them.
| Component | Description | Configuration Instructions |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| [Load Balancer(s)](load_balancer.md)[^6] | Handles load balancing for the GitLab nodes where required. | [Load balancer HA configuration](load_balancer.md) |
| [Consul](../../development/architecture.md#consul)[^3] | Service discovery and health checks/failover | [Consul HA configuration](consul.md) **(PREMIUM ONLY)** |
| [PostgreSQL](../../development/architecture.md#postgresql) | Database | [Database HA configuration](database.md) |
| [PgBouncer](../../development/architecture.md#pgbouncer) | Database Pool Manager | [PgBouncer HA configuration](pgbouncer.md) **(PREMIUM ONLY)** |
| [Redis](../../development/architecture.md#redis)[^3] with Redis Sentinel | Key/Value store for shared data with HA watcher service | [Redis HA configuration](redis.md) |
| [Gitaly](../../development/architecture.md#gitaly)[^2] [^5] [^7] | Recommended high-level storage for Git repository data. | [Gitaly HA configuration](gitaly.md) |
| [Sidekiq](../../development/architecture.md#sidekiq) | Asynchronous/Background jobs | |
| [Cloud Object Storage service](object_storage.md)[^4] | Recommended store for shared data objects such as LFS, Uploads, Artifacts, etc... | [Cloud Object Storage configuration](object_storage.md) |
| [GitLab application nodes](../../development/architecture.md#unicorn)[^1] | (Unicorn / Puma, Workhorse) - Web-requests (UI, API, Git over HTTP) | [GitLab app HA/scaling configuration](gitlab.md) |
| [NFS](nfs.md)[^5] [^7] | Shared disk storage service. Can be used as an alternative for Gitaly or Object Storage. Required for GitLab Pages. | [NFS configuration](nfs.md) |
| [Prometheus](../../development/architecture.md#prometheus) and [Grafana](../../development/architecture.md#grafana) | GitLab environment monitoring | [Monitoring node for scaling/HA](monitoring_node.md) |
The GitLab application depends on the following [components](../../development/architecture.md#component-diagram).
It can also depend on several third party services depending on
your environment setup. Here we'll detail both in the order in which
you would typically configure them along with our recommendations for
their use and configuration.
### Third party services
Here's some details of several third party services a typical environment
will depend on. The services can be provided by numerous applications
or providers and further advice can be given on how best to select.
These should be configured first, before the [GitLab components](#gitlab-components).
| Component | Description | Configuration instructions |
|--------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| [Load Balancer(s)](load_balancer.md)[^6] | Handles load balancing for the GitLab nodes where required | [Load balancer HA configuration](load_balancer.md) |
| [Cloud Object Storage service](object_storage.md)[^4] | Recommended store for shared data objects | [Cloud Object Storage configuration](object_storage.md) |
| [NFS](nfs.md)[^5] [^7] | Shared disk storage service. Can be used as an alternative for Gitaly or Object Storage. Required for GitLab Pages | [NFS configuration](nfs.md) |
### GitLab components
Next are all of the components provided directly by GitLab. As mentioned
earlier, they are presented in the typical order you would configure
them.
| Component | Description | Configuration instructions |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Consul](../../development/architecture.md#consul)[^3] | Service discovery and health checks/failover | [Consul HA configuration](consul.md) **(PREMIUM ONLY)** |
| [PostgreSQL](../../development/architecture.md#postgresql) | Database | [Database HA configuration](database.md) |
| [PgBouncer](../../development/architecture.md#pgbouncer) | Database Pool Manager | [PgBouncer HA configuration](pgbouncer.md) **(PREMIUM ONLY)** |
| [Redis](../../development/architecture.md#redis)[^3] with Redis Sentinel | Key/Value store for shared data with HA watcher service | [Redis HA configuration](redis.md) |
| [Gitaly](../../development/architecture.md#gitaly)[^2] [^5] [^7] | Recommended high-level storage for Git repository data | [Gitaly HA configuration](gitaly.md) |
| [Sidekiq](../../development/architecture.md#sidekiq) | Asynchronous/Background jobs | |
| [GitLab application nodes](../../development/architecture.md#unicorn)[^1] | (Unicorn / Puma, Workhorse) - Web-requests (UI, API, Git over HTTP) | [GitLab app HA/scaling configuration](gitlab.md) |
| [Prometheus](../../development/architecture.md#prometheus) and [Grafana](../../development/architecture.md#grafana) | GitLab environment monitoring | [Monitoring node for scaling/HA](monitoring_node.md) |
In some cases, components can be combined on the same nodes to reduce complexity as well.
