Topology best practice

Hello everyone, What is the best topology to use for a production environment? We will have about 50 robots. Two questions: 1. Is there documentation on setting up an application server (between robot and the DB)? I cant seem to find that anywhere. 2. Is it common practice to put a load balancer between the robots and a couple application servers incase one app server goes down? Thank you for your help! Bill

Hi Bill - there's no single answer to 'best topology' but a good place to start is here https://portal.blueprism.com/system/files/product/productpublic/5.0/Infrastructure%20and%20Installation/Blue%20Prism%20Data%20Sheet%20-%20Infrastructure%20Overview%20v5.0%20Enterprise%20Edition.pdfApp server set up details are in the installation guide.A load balancer is an option, and the recommendation is to have about 100 robots per app server.
