Queries over small number of time series usually require small number of CPU cores and small amount of RAM per each `vmselect` node, while queries over big number of time series (>10K) require bigger number of CPU cores and bigger amounts of RAM. -* It is recommended increasing CPU and RAM resources per `vmselect` node if lower query latency is needed, while adding new `vmselect` nodes only when the cluster is overloaded with incoming select qps. ## High availability
