Helmut4 offers two hosting options:

Cluster installation
Single (Standalone) Server Installation
The single server deployment method is the default for Helmut4. All necessary components run on a single system, ensuring a straightforward and easy setup.
Cluster installation
For customers managing a higher volume of users, a cluster installation provides an alternative solution for load balancing and redundancy.
This setup requires a minimum of three individual machines, which will be combined to form a swarm cluster. For further information check out the official docker documentation.
For a cluster installation, the customer must provide an external load balancer tailored to their deployment environment. This load balancer can be implemented as a dedicated hardware appliance, a software-based solution, or even a DNS-based round-robin configuration, depending on performance and redundancy requirements
