# High Availability
Bindplane is capable of running in high availability (HA) mode. Bindplane runs in an **active-active** HA mode, meaning that the workload of the application is spread across all nodes in the cluster.
When operating Bindplane in high availability, several user-managed components are\
required.
* [Load balancer](/production-checklist/bindplane/high-availability/load-balancer.md)
* [PostgreSQL](/production-checklist/bindplane/high-availability/postgresql.md)
* [Prometheus Measurement Database](/production-checklist/bindplane/high-availability/prometheus.md)
* [Event Bus](/production-checklist/bindplane/high-availability/event-bus.md)
One or more Bindplane servers can be installed. Each server is stateless. All data is stored in the Postgres and Prometheus databases. Communication between servers is handled by the event bus. The configuration between all Bindplane servers should be the same.
### Example Implementations
#### Google Cloud
See the [Multi Node Architecture On Google Cloud](broken://pages/3Fc7OnBWxDIVttFF4qKI) guide for details on how to deploy Bindplane server's distributed architecture on Google Cloud using services such as Cloud Load Balancer, Pub/Sub, and CloudSQL.
