Minimum Hardware Requirements
* Disk: Assuming the default 7-day retention window for data storage. Otherwise, +40GB per retention day
* RAM/CPU: Assuming RPC will serve a modest request volume (e.g. 100 requests per second across all endpoints). For deployments expecting heavier request volume to Stellar RPC (e.g. >500 requests per second), we recommend horizontal scaling and load balancing across at least 32GB of RAM and an appropriately scaled CPU.
We highly recommend using a local SSD disk for storage. RPC is compatible with network-based filesystems like AWS EBS but it will negatively impact its performance.
