Resource footprint
Needs ~832 MB RAM · 4 GB recommended(estimated)
Why?
- Minimum L (2 GB): estimated from the app's language, dependencies and category: about 832 MB. We add 25% headroom on top.
- Recommended XL (4 GB): the project's docs ask for 8 GB for the whole server (docs/docs/install/requirements.md); about 7.4 GB of that is for the app itself. Until we've measured it, we recommend at most one size above the minimum.
- It can sleep when idle, which is the cheapest way to run it.
