# Size the data plane agent

For larger [Domino Nexus](/cloud/admin/architecture-and-deployment/architecture/nexus-hybrid-architecture) deployments, Domino recommends increasing resource requests and limits on certain platform pods. The data plane agent is included in this recommendation. If you are deploying a remote [data plane](/cloud/admin/platform-configuration/manage-data-planes), you should also consider the resource sizing for that agent.

## Size the data plane agent

You can use Helm values like these to size the data plane agent:

```yaml theme={null}
agent:
  deployment:
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: 2000m
        memory: 2Gi
      limits:
        cpu: 4000m
        memory: 4Gi
```

## Sizing tips

If the Domino control plane is not hosted in AWS, remote data planes upload DFS artifacts via a proxy hosted by the `nucleus-frontend` deployment in the control plane.

If there are a large number of remote jobs syncing a large number of files, performance may be improved by increasing the number of replicas for this deployment and/or the resource requests and limits.
