Production Deployment Guide

This guide covers everything you need to deploy Geode in production: hardware requirements, OS tuning, security hardening, TLS configuration, and container orchestration.

Hardware Requirements

Minimum Requirements

CPU4 cores (x86_64 or ARM64)
Memory8 GB RAM
Storage50 GB SSD
Network1 Gbps

CPU16+ cores
Memory64+ GB RAM
Storage500+ GB NVMe SSD
Network10 Gbps

Storage Considerations

SSD is Required: Geode relies on fast random I/O for graph traversals. HDDs are not recommended.

Storage Sizing Formula:

Required Storage = (Nodes * 256 bytes) + (Relationships * 128 bytes) + (Properties * avg_size) + 20% overhead

Example Calculation:

10 million nodes: 10M * 256 = 2.56 GB
50 million relationships: 50M * 128 = 6.4 GB
100 million properties (avg 64 bytes): 100M * 64 = 6.4 GB
Total: ~18 GB + 20% = ~22 GB

Memory Sizing

Rule of Thumb: Allocate 1 GB RAM per 10 million graph elements (nodes + relationships).

Memory Distribution:

  • 60%: Page cache for data files
  • 25%: Query execution buffers
  • 10%: Connection handling
  • 5%: System overhead

OS Tuning (Linux)

System Limits

Edit /etc/security/limits.conf:

# Geode user limits
geode soft nofile 65535
geode hard nofile 65535
geode soft nproc 65535
geode hard nproc 65535
geode soft memlock unlimited
geode hard memlock unlimited

Kernel Parameters

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf:

# Network tuning for QUIC
net.core.rmem_max = 134217728
net.core.wmem_max = 134217728
net.core.rmem_default = 16777216
net.core.wmem_default = 16777216
net.core.optmem_max = 40960
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 50000
net.ipv4.udp_mem = 65536 131072 262144
net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min = 16384
net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min = 16384

# Connection handling
net.core.somaxconn = 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 65535

# File system
fs.file-max = 2097152
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288

# Virtual memory
vm.swappiness = 10
vm.dirty_ratio = 40
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10
vm.max_map_count = 262144

Apply changes:

sudo sysctl -p

I/O Scheduler

For NVMe drives:

echo "none" | sudo tee /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler

For SSD drives:

echo "mq-deadline" | sudo tee /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

Transparent Huge Pages

Disable for better memory performance:

echo "never" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo "never" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

Make persistent via /etc/rc.local or systemd service.

Security Hardening

Dedicated User

# Create geode user
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/geode geode

# Create directories
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/geode /var/log/geode /etc/geode
sudo chown -R geode:geode /var/lib/geode /var/log/geode /etc/geode
sudo chmod 750 /var/lib/geode /var/log/geode
sudo chmod 700 /etc/geode

File Permissions

# Data directory
chmod 700 /var/lib/geode

# Configuration (may contain secrets)
chmod 600 /etc/geode/geode.yaml

# TLS certificates
chmod 600 /etc/geode/server.key
chmod 644 /etc/geode/server.crt

# Log directory
chmod 750 /var/log/geode

Firewall Configuration

# Allow Geode port (default 3141)
sudo ufw allow 3141/udp comment "Geode QUIC"

# Alternative port 8443
sudo ufw allow 8443/udp comment "Geode QUIC Alt"

# Deny direct access to data directory port if using reverse proxy
sudo ufw deny 3142/udp

SELinux (RHEL/CentOS)

# Create policy for Geode
cat > geode.te << EOF
module geode 1.0;

require {
    type geode_t;
    type geode_port_t;
    type geode_data_t;
}

allow geode_t geode_port_t:udp_socket { bind listen };
allow geode_t geode_data_t:dir { read write add_name remove_name };
allow geode_t geode_data_t:file { read write create unlink };
EOF

# Compile and install
checkmodule -M -m -o geode.mod geode.te
semodule_package -o geode.pp -m geode.mod
semodule -i geode.pp

AppArmor (Ubuntu/Debian)

cat > /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.geode << EOF
#include <tunables/global>

/usr/bin/geode {
  #include <abstractions/base>
  #include <abstractions/nameservice>

  # Binary

  /etc/geode/ r,
  /etc/geode/** r,

  /etc/geode/*.key r,

  # Network
  network inet dgram,
  network inet6 dgram,
}
EOF

sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.geode

TLS Configuration

Generate Certificates

Self-Signed (Development/Testing):

# Generate CA
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca.crt \
  -subj "/CN=Geode CA/O=MyOrg"

# Generate server certificate
openssl genrsa -out server.key 4096
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr \
  -subj "/CN=geode.example.com/O=MyOrg"

# Create SAN config
cat > server.ext << EOF
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1 = geode.example.com
DNS.2 = *.geode.example.com
DNS.3 = localhost
IP.1 = 127.0.0.1
EOF

# Sign certificate
openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key \
  -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 365 -extfile server.ext

Let’s Encrypt (Production):

# Install certbot
sudo apt install certbot

# Obtain certificate
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d geode.example.com

# Certificates stored at:
# /etc/letsencrypt/live/geode.example.com/fullchain.pem
# /etc/letsencrypt/live/geode.example.com/privkey.pem

# Auto-renewal
sudo systemctl enable certbot.timer

TLS Configuration File

Create /etc/geode/geode.yaml:

server:
  listen: "0.0.0.0:3141"

tls:
  enabled: true
  cert_file: "/etc/geode/server.crt"
  key_file: "/etc/geode/server.key"
  ca_file: "/etc/geode/ca.crt"  # Optional: for client auth
  min_version: "1.3"
  client_auth: "optional"  # none, optional, required

security:
  # Require TLS for all connections
  require_tls: true
  # Reject plaintext connections
  allow_plaintext: false

Cipher Suites

Geode uses TLS 1.3 which provides strong defaults. For compliance requirements:

tls:
  cipher_suites:
    - "TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384"
    - "TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256"
    - "TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"

Health Checks and Readiness Probes

Health Check Endpoints

Geode exposes health check endpoints:

EndpointProtocolPurpose
PINGQUICConnection health
/healthHTTPOverall health
/readyHTTPReadiness status
/liveHTTPLiveness status

Health Check Script

#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/geode-health

set -e

# Check QUIC connection
if ! geode ping localhost:3141 --timeout 5s; then
    echo "QUIC health check failed"
    exit 1
fi

# Check disk space (>10% free)
DATA_DIR="/var/lib/geode"
FREE_PERCENT=$(df "$DATA_DIR" | tail -1 | awk '{print 100 - $5}' | tr -d '%')
if [ "$FREE_PERCENT" -lt 10 ]; then
    echo "Disk space low: ${FREE_PERCENT}% free"
    exit 1
fi

# Check memory usage (<90%)
MEM_PERCENT=$(free | grep Mem | awk '{print int($3/$2 * 100)}')
if [ "$MEM_PERCENT" -gt 90 ]; then
    echo "Memory usage high: ${MEM_PERCENT}%"
    exit 1
fi

echo "OK"
exit 0

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

# Check if Geode is listening
ss -ulnp | grep 3141

# Test QUIC connectivity
geode ping geode.example.com:3141 --verbose

# Check TLS certificate
openssl s_client -connect geode.example.com:3141 -servername geode.example.com

Performance Issues

# Check resource usage
top -p $(pgrep geode)

# Check disk I/O
iostat -xz 1

# Check network
iftop -i eth0

# Query performance
geode shell -c "PROFILE MATCH (n) RETURN count(n)"

Memory Issues

# Check memory usage
free -h

# Check Geode memory
geode stats memory

# Force garbage collection (if supported)
kill -USR1 $(pgrep geode)
