- Lowering node specs: Depending on your user count, you can lower all suggested node specs as desired. However, it's recommended that you don't go lower than the [general requirements](../../install/requirements.md).
- Combining select nodes: Some nodes can be combined to reduce complexity at the cost of some performance:
- GitLab Rails and Sidekiq: Sidekiq nodes can be removed and the component instead enabled on the GitLab Rails nodes.
- PostgreSQL and PgBouncer: PgBouncer nodes can be removed and the component instead enabled on PostgreSQL with the Internal Load Balancer pointing to them instead.
- PostgreSQL and PgBouncer: PgBouncer nodes could be removed and instead be enabled on PostgreSQL nodes with the Internal Load Balancer pointing to them. However, to enable [Database Load Balancing](../postgresql/database_load_balancing.md), a separate PgBouncer array is still required.
- 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.
