</head>
This guide describes the best practices and tuning approaches to scale Rancher setups, and the associated challenges with doing so. As systems grow performance will naturally reduce, but there are steps that can minimize the load put on Rancher, and optimize Rancher's ability to manage larger infrastructures.

### Managing Your Object Counts
Etcd is the backing database for Kubernetes and for Rancher. The database may eventually encounter limitations to the number of a single Kubernetes resource type it can store. Exact limits vary and depend on a number of factors. However, experience indicates that performance issues frequently arise once a single resource type's object count exceeds 60 thousand. Often that type is `RoleBinding`.

Often that type is `RoleBinding`.
This is typical in Rancher, as many operations create new `RoleBinding` objects in the upstream cluster as a side effect.
