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.

  • Hi.. It would be nice to find out the answer of this question.. I had a EC2 instance with 1GB ram and 2.5 GHz CPU and it was not running at all. – user1526474 Apr 02 '17 at 13:19
  • yes, I was trying to implement an instance and reading it seems to need about 8gb for a basic good performance and 16> for a good performance in a real production environment, a bit expensive in hardware resources terms :/ – Gustavo Otero Apr 03 '17 at 00:56

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)

  • Thanks for the info, we already have deployed it, it a bit expensive but it worth we will have a few weeks of test and make a choice – Gustavo Otero Apr 03 '17 at 17:46

I have deployed latest version of Usergrid i.e. 2.1, which is working smoothly in apache-cassandra-2.1.20, apache-tomcat-7.0.85, elasticsearch-1.7.6 on single node of Cassandra on Ubuntu 16.04 with 8 GB Ram and 180 GB SSD. Hope this will help you.
