A gear is a container for your code. A single server may have multiple gears running at the same time, each isolated from each other through Linux namespacing and SELinux protection. Each gear is given a fair allocation of CPU, memory, disk, and network bandwidth using Linux control groups. In a scalable application, a database always gets its own gear. In the OpenShift free tier you only have small gears (512GB memory, 1GB HDD etc.)
