[SOLVED] Usergrid system requirements?

Usergrid system requirements?

question, how much resources I need to run apache usergrid? I mean hardware resources, RAM CPU

I want to deploy apache usergrid to be used as backed in our apps, the apps have a low traffic now, are custom projects to be used in small users groups (<10k)

I want to know the minimum requirements to know if it is viable for us, thanks.

Solution

From what I see of usergrid, I can think that the most hungry for resources component will be Elasticsearch, so to have a production environment that's working well, I guess you should start following ES' requirements:

At least 8 GB of RAM
At least 4 cores (the more cores you give Elasticsearch, the more love you get as it tends to works with a lot of threading, i.e. give more cores rather than more CPU processing power)
Fast HDDs should perform fine

See this article on Elasticsearch.A last thing is that depending on your system, you can tune several settings on Elasticsearch to achieve a better throughput. (For instance see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/tune-for-indexing-speed.html)
