Hardware requirements

Slurp’it uses a Microservice architecture where it’s easy to offload services to another server.
But when you run everything on the same server the following is required:

Minimum Configuration:

  • CPU: Quad-core processor
  • RAM: 16GB
  • Storage: 250GB SSD

Recommended Configuration:

  • CPU: Hexa-core or octa-core processor for improved performance and concurrency
  • RAM: 32GB or higher, allowing for larger working sets and improved performance
  • Storage: 500GB SSD

Enterprise Recommendation:

  • CPU: Multi-core processor (12 cores or more) for higher concurrency and workload processing
  • RAM: 64GB or higher for larger datasets and indexing operations
  • Storage:
    • 1000GB
    • High-performance SSDs in RAID configuration, separated for data and journaling
    • Consider SAN or NAS solutions for scalability and reliability

Benchmark tool

Want to verify if your system is ready to run Slurp’it and for which configuration your hardware is capable of running, then run our benchmark tool to make sure you won’t encounter any performance issues:

  1. Open the terminal of your Slurp’it server
  2. Make sure your system has an internet connection
  3. Run the following command:

docker run --pull always --rm slurpit/benchmark:latest
