-- 1 - 1000 Users: A single-node [Omnibus](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/) setup with frequent backups. Refer to the [requirements page](../../install/requirements.md) for further details of the specs you will require.
-- 1000 - 10000 Users: A scaled environment based on one of our [Reference Architectures](#reference-architectures), without the HA components applied. This can be a reasonable step towards a fully HA environment.

-## Reference architectures
-
-In this section we'll detail the Reference Architectures that can support large numbers
-of users. These were built, tested and verified by our Quality and Support teams.
-
-Testing was done with our GitLab Performance Tool at specific coded workloads, and the
-throughputs used for testing were calculated based on sample customer data. We
-test each endpoint type with the following number of requests per second (RPS)
-per 1000 users:
-
-- API: 20 RPS
-- Web: 2 RPS
-- Git: 2 RPS
-
-NOTE: **Note:** Note that depending on your workflow the below recommended
-reference architectures may need to be adapted accordingly. Your workload
-is influenced by factors such as - but not limited to - how active your users are,
-how much automation you use, mirroring, and repo/change size. Additionally the
-shown memory values are given directly by [GCP machine types](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types).
-On different cloud vendors a best effort like for like can be used.

and have its number of workers set to 90% of available CPUs along with 4 threads.
