System Resource Requirements
Although resource requirements will largely depend on the size and resource demands of your Couchbase deployment, there are some minimum and recommended specifications that you should follow.
| Minimum Specifications* | Recommended Specifications** | |
|---|---|---|
CPU |
2 GHz dual core x86_64 |
3 GHz quad core x86_64 and above 3 GHz six core x86_64 when using Cross Datacenter Replication (XDCR) and Views |
RAM |
4 GB (physical) |
16 GB (physical) and above |
Storage (disk space) |
8 GB (block-based; HDD, SSD, EBS, iSCSI) Network file systems such as CIFS and NFS are not supported. |
16 GB and above (block-based; HDD, SSD, EBS, iSCSI) Network file systems such as CIFS and NFS are not supported. |
*You can reduce the CPU and RAM resources below the Minimum Specifications for development and testing purposes. Resources can be as low as 1 GB of free RAM beyond operating system requirements, and a single CPU core. However, you must adhere to the Minimum Specifications for production.
**The Recommended Specifications don’t take into account your intended workload. You should follow the sizing guidelines when determining system specifications for your Couchbase Server deployment.
