Overall Resource Allocation

Platform Resource Requirements​

  • Total Minimum CPU: 3 cores
  • Total Recommended CPU: 16.15 cores
  • Total Minimum Memory: 8 GiB
  • Total Recommended Memory: 30.5 GiB

Please note that these requirements are specifically for the core components of the SettleMint platform and assume the deployment of one instance of each service, including ipfs, integration-studio, middleware, besu, firefly, and ide.

For detailed resource requirements for each image, you can refer to the Default resource requirements , where you will find a breakdown of the requirements for each image.

Consideration for Multiple Besu Nodes​

To ensure network stability and fault tolerance, it is recommended to deploy a minimum of 4 besu nodes for the blockchain component. Adjusting the resource requirements accordingly, here are the adjusted requirements for 4 besu nodes:

  • Total Minimum CPU (including 4 besu nodes): 3.4 cores
  • Total Recommended CPU (including 4 besu nodes): 17.35 cores
  • Total Minimum Memory (including 4 besu nodes): 11.896 GiB
  • Total Recommended Memory (including 4 besu nodes): 50.98 GiB

Overhead Consideration​

To account for any additional resource needs and ensure smooth performance, it is recommended to allocate a certain overhead. While the exact overhead percentage may vary based on your specific deployment and usage patterns, a commonly suggested starting point is around 20%. You can adjust this value over time based on your monitoring and performance analysis.

Please refer to the Default resource requirements for more detailed information on the resource requirements for each image.
