Hardware requirements
---------------------
Performance requirements depend mostly on the amount of traffic that you get
on your Elixir service. However, a fast server also helps for the initial
indexing of the projects.
At Bootlin, here are a few details about the server we're using:
* As of April 2018, our Elixir service consumes 165 GB of data (supporting all projects, with some data duplication).
Therefore, a 256 GB (SSD!) disk should be fine for most needs.
* The server has 64GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, and a E3-1245 v5 CPU running at 3.50GHz (4 cores / 8 threads).
