Topology

An APIO Core deployment typically consists of an application layer running the APIO Core application, along with third-party support software such as the NGINX reverse proxy, and a database layer running PostgreSQL. While both layers can run on the same host, it is recommended to separate the database and application onto distinct hosts in production environments. As a result, a standard deployment usually consists of two virtual machines (VMs) for the application and two VMs for the database.

INFO

When deployed alongside other products, such as the BroadWorks Gateway (BWGW), the database can be shared between both applications.
