# Hardware Sizing Guide

> How ORCA deployments are sized — and how to get sizing for your estate.

ORCA deploys in three reference tiers. Sizing is driven by four measurable inputs from your environment: raw events/day, peak events/sec, dedup-state size (the dominant memory driver), and the size of your dependency graph.

| Tier               | Profile                               | Typical estate                                                             |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **S — Pilot**      | Single-zone, shadow-mode capable      | Departmental estate, one or two source tools                               |
| **M — Production** | Three failure domains, full HA        | Enterprise estate, several thousand CIs                                    |
| **L — Bank-scale** | Three-zone, tier-segregated workloads | Full banking estate, strict T1 latency targets, proven at production scale |

## Why we don't publish generic numbers

Sizing an event pipeline from averages is how deployments fail at month-end. Dedup-state size varies by an order of magnitude between two estates with identical daily volumes — which is also why we chaos-verify component failover against **your** state size rather than trusting vendor lab figures.

Detailed sizing — node counts, per-component resource tables, Kubernetes requests/limits, and GPU sizing where applicable — is produced for your environment during scoping and delivered as part of the customer documentation set.
