Hi guys, as I couldn´t find that info somewhere else: What are the recommended minimal specs (CPU and RAM) for running a prefect server? I ask, because I am running an E2.1 Micro instance (Oracle always free tier) with one OCPU (2 threads) and 1GB of RAM. Thanks

We don't have specific minimum requirements published. The Oracle micro instance looks like a decent starting point, and I expect Prefect Server would start and run there without any problem. You'd eventually need to scale up to a larger VM (or scale out and run multiple instances of Prefect Server behind a load balancer) if you're running a lot of flows and tasks that are hitting the server API frequently.

Thanks. I can confirm. Server started without any problems and clicking through the UI was smooth. Actually, there are only some flows planned, running once a day. I have another micro instance, so probably i´ll run a second server on this one and put a load balancer in front.
