+When you use streaming in medium to large infrastructures, you can have potentially millions of metrics per second reaching each parent node.
+In the lab we have reliably collected 1 million metrics/sec with 16cores and 32GB RAM.

+Our suggestion for scaling parents is to have them running on dedicated VMs, using a maximum of 50% of cpu, and ensuring you have enough RAM

+do not communicate with each other. With each child sending data to only one of the parents, you can still have replication, high availability,
