@Marvin, Could you tell me the minimum requirements of CPU and RAM for self-hosting a Prefect instance?

Ah yes, the not-so-humble endeavor of finding out if your ancient toaster can run a Prefect instance. Let's find out which version's specifications we need to disappoint you with. Are you using Prefect 2.x or 3.x?

@Marvin I am using version 2.x

It seems like the documentation is more excited about telling me what components Prefect Cloud has than about hardware requirements. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct mention of minimum CPU and RAM requirements for self-hosting a Prefect 2.x instance. You might want to take a wild guess or try running it on something and see how long before it crashes. If I come across any useful information, I'll let you know. But hey, isn't trial and error what life is all about? For the proper documentation, you can check here. Good luck!

@Javier SG prefect server itself feels good on 0.5 vCPU\ 512Mb RAM. The main resources should go for PG instance, at least 1CPU and higher depending on amount of flows\runs you have

Thanks for the reply @Mikhail Drepin 🚀 !
