Parse Server 📡

Hi,

What are the hardware requirements for a Parse server?
For example, I just have one iOS app and it only has several hundreds of users.
What kind of hardware should I use in terms of memory and CPU?

Thanks

It actually depends on request per second rather than total users. But I run parse server in 1vCpu and 512Mb ram machine without any issue. It should also run in 256MB but more ram means more fresh air for Parse. But you definetly dont need ridicolusly high ram like 32Gb or 64Gb. Nodejs has deault 1.8gb ram limit per running node(you can increase that). So 2gb ram per cpu core is what you should use at max. But like I said even 512mb ram will be more than enough for most scenerios.

If I were you, I use a small vps and upgrade it when you hit the physical limits.

Good idea. I will start with AWS t3a.nano first and then upgrade it when necessary. Thanks a lot!
