Enabling

(optional) may increase memory consumption.

Enabling direct connections between users and workspace agents (apps or SSH

traffic) can help prevent an increase in CPU usage. It is recommended to keep

[this option enabled](../../cli.md#--disable-direct-connections) unless there

are compelling reasons to disable it.

Inactive users do not consume Coder resources.

If the Coder deployment expects traffic from developers spread across the globe,

be aware that customer-facing latency might be higher because of the distance

between users and the load balancer. Fortunately, the latency can be improved

with a deployment of Coder[workspace proxies](../workspace-proxies.md).

[workspace proxies](../networking/workspace-proxies.md).

**Node Autoscaling**

We recommend disabling the autoscaling for`coderd` nodes. Autoscaling can cause

interruptions for user connections, see

[Autoscaling](scale-utility.md#autoscaling) for more details.

[Autoscaling](./scale-utility.md#autoscaling) for more details.

When scaling[workspace proxies](../workspace-proxies.md), follow the same

guidelines as for`coderd` above:

When scaling[workspace proxies](../networking/workspace-proxies.md), follow the

sameguidelines as for`coderd` above:

-`1 vCPU x 2 GB memory` for every 250 users.

- Disable autoscaling.

If a load test fails or if you are experiencing performance issues during

day-to-day use, you can leverage Coder's[Prometheus metrics](../prometheus.md)

to identify bottlenecks during scale tests. Additionally, you can use your

existing cloud monitoring stack to measure load, view server logs, etc.

Coder's networking does a best effort to make direct connections to a workspace.

In situations where this is not possible, such as connections via the web

terminal and[web IDEs](../../user-guides/workspace-access/README.md#web-ides), workspace proxies are able to

reduce the amount of distance the network traffic needs to travel.

A workspace proxy is a relay connection a developer can choose to use when

connecting with their workspace over SSH, a workspace app, port forwarding, etc.
