Self-Hosting Requirements

To successfully deploy and manage Prisme.ai within your infrastructure, you need to ensure that your environment meets specific prerequisites related to resources, services, and configurations.

​

Infrastructure Recommendations

Prisme.ai recommends the following baseline infrastructure to ensure smooth operation:

• Nodes: At least 3 Kubernetes nodes with 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM each【40:1†source】.
• Disk Space: Minimum 50GB recommended for persistent storage.
• High Availability: Use managed services or clusters with redundancy capabilities.
• Load Balancer: Ingress controller or cloud load balancer required for service routing.

​

Database Requirements

Ensure the following database setups for optimal performance and reliability:

• MongoDB:

  • Version: 6.x or newer
  • Configuration: 3-node replica set, each with at least 2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and 1,000 IOPS【32:2†source】.

• Redis:

  • Version: 5.x or newer
  • Configuration: Separate instances recommended for cache and broker, each with at least 3GB RAM and 2 vCPU【32:2†source】.

• Elasticsearch/OpenSearch:

  • Version: 8.x or newer
  • Configuration: 3-node cluster, each node with 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU【32:3†source】.

• Vector Database (Redis Stack):

  • Version: Redis 5.x+ with JSON and SEARCH modules
  • Configuration: 3-node cluster with 5GB RAM and 2 vCPU each【32:3†source】.

​

Storage and Filesystems

Prisme.ai supports various storage backends, including:

• Filesystem: Kubernetes Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) with RWX support and at least 50GB capacity.
• S3-Compatible Storage: Separate buckets for models, uploads, and public content.
• Azure Blob Storage: Supported as an alternative to S3-compatible storage.

​

Networking and DNS

DNS configuration requirements:

• Wildcard DNS: Essential for workspace routing (e.g., *.pages.yourdomain.com).
• Dedicated DNS: Required for API (api.yourdomain.com) and Studio (studio.yourdomain.com)【40:2†source】.

​

Authentication (SSO)

Prisme.ai supports multiple Single Sign-On (SSO) options:

• OIDC Providers: Compatible with Google, Azure, and other generic OIDC providers【35:1†source】.
• SAML Providers: Supported with HTTP-POST binding (e.g., Okta).
• Configuration: Managed via authProviders.config.yml for easy integration.

​

Environment Variables

Critical variables for Prisme.ai deployment:

• API_URL, CONSOLE_URL, PAGES_HOST: Essential URLs for service operation.
• Database Hosts and Secrets: Required for Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and others【36:1†source】.
• Uploads Configuration: Separate environment variables for managing public and private buckets【36:2†source】.

​

Recommended Load Testing

Before going live, perform tailored load tests considering:

• Interactions per user: 4-10 per session.
• Simultaneous users: Support for 100 new users per second.
• API response time: Target 478 ms P95 for the first token using OpenAI API【32:1†source】.
