For the production deployment, the minimum requirements for the server is at least 2GB RAM, 2 cores and 15GB SSD harddisk. The details of the deployment steps can be found in this guide.

Currently, we are using the script provided in the guide above to automate the whole setting up and installation process. However, the script is only sufficient to fulfill the requirements of the phase 1 in our planning. So in the future, we must design our own deployment architecture by using tools like puppet, chef, ansible, docker or even our own customized script.

Example real deployment scenario:

System spec: core i5, 2.3GHz (2 cores allocated to vm), SSD HD, 8gb RAM allocated to VM

Data Summary:

Database size: 1.19GB
Items: 25,562
Item Price: 40,145
Sales invoices: 188541, items in SINV: 438,908
Stock ledger entries: 461,704
GL Entries: 1,050,311
Items in the feed table: 374049

Performance estimates, will depend on number of items and posting time for any transaction:

Submitting Sales invoice: 3 seconds average, 8 to 15 on v6
Submitting old PRs and POs: 4 seconds average, 12+ on v6
submitting new PRS, POs: 2 seconds, 5 to 15 on v6 (depends on items)
Cancelling old Purchase Receipts, up to 1 week old or more: 21 seconds+ (still cool for such an intensive adjustment)
