Does RChilli Perform better with SSD?

Yes, RChilli performs better with SSDs when deployed on-premises or in private cloud environments. Here's a detailed explanation of why and when this matters:

🚀 Performance with SSDs: Why It Matters

Solid State Drives (SSDs) offer significantly faster data read/write speeds compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). For applications like RChilli, which involve:

• Parsing resumes from various formats

• Performing real-time or batch extraction

• Handling multi-threaded, high-volume data processing

• Generating structured outputs like JSON or XML quickly

using SSDs improves both throughput and latency. This leads to:

• Faster resume parsing

• Reduced response time for API calls

• Higher concurrency handling without bottlenecks

• Better I/O performance especially for bulk parsing scenarios

🔧 Deployment Requirements and SSD Recommendations

According to RChilli’s Docker deployment guide and hardware recommendations:

• Storage: At least 100 GB of root volume is needed

• RAM: 64 GB or more is recommended

• CPU: 16-core processor or higher with 3.X GHz frequency

• While SSD is not explicitly mandated, using SSDs is strongly recommended for environments that need optimal performance and responsiveness.

🌐 Cloud/Hosted vs. On-Premise

• If using RChilli's cloud-hosted APIs, performance is managed by RChilli infrastructure and users don’t need to worry about SSDs.

• For private deployments (e.g., Docker installations or enterprise self-hosted scenarios), SSDs are a critical factor for ensuring smooth and fast operations under load.

📝 Recommendation

For clients setting up RChilli locally or in a high-volume environment (e.g., parsing millions of resumes overnight), equipping your server with SSDs will significantly enhance performance and scalability.
