Current infrastructure

Details on https://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Infrastructure#Current_infrastructure

  • off1: frontend + backend for the web site and API
  • off2: mongodb + off1 backup
  • dev: dev server, robotoff, remote backup

Hardware needs 2020

Production

  • Frontend + backend for the web site and API
    • off1
  • MongoDB
    • off2
  • Robotoff
    • New server
      • Models are memory hungry, at least 32 GB of RAM is needed. Ideally, 64 GB.
      • Ideally, 1 GPU server. Otherwise, high-performance CPU are suitable, 8 cores at least (the more, the better).
      • Disk: speed is only important when loading model from disk, which only occurs at startup. Ideally NVMe, classic SSDs are fine. 500 GB of space should be ok.
  • New producer platform
    • New server
      • Little web traffic, lots of image data (sometimes in huge PDFs or png)
      • mid-level cpu and ram, at least 2x4 Tb disks
  • New content platform (wiki, blog...) ??
    • New server for different kind of tools (example: Zammad, MediaWiki, Wordpress, Matomo, Rserver?, Nextcloud?)
      • Little web traffic, not much disk needed (except for videos if needed?)
      • mid-level cpu and ram, 2x500 Gb SSD disks probably ok

Backup

  • New backup server or cloud storage

Dev

  • OFF + producer platform dev
    • New server
      • mid level cpu and ram, at least 2x8 Tb disks
