No matter how you install - Kubernetes, Docker Compose, from PyPI - these are the components. Here are further details on each.

### Optional components and associated features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The optional components above are necessary to enable these features:
|
||||||
|
- [Alerts and Reports](/docs/configuration/alerts-reports)
|
||||||
|
- [Caching](/docs/configuration/cache)
|
||||||
|
- [Async Queries](/docs/configuration/async-queries-celery/)
|
||||||
|
- [Dashboard Thumbnails](/docs/configuration/cache/#caching-thumbnails)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you install with Kubernetes or Docker Compose, all of these components will be created.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, installing from PyPI only creates the application itself. Users installing from PyPI will need to configure a caching layer, worker, and beat on their own if they wish to enable the above features. Configuration of those components for a PyPI install is not currently covered in this documentation.

Here are further details on each component.
