# Memory Sizing Memory sizing is a critical factor in ensuring stable performance for ONEWEB applications.\ The following guidelines provide a **baseline estimation** for memory requirements based on environment type and expected user load. *** **Baseline Guidelines** * **8 GB RAM (Minimum for Development)**\ Recommended as the minimum memory size for a **development or testing environment**, where workload and concurrency are limited. * **16 GB RAM (Minimum for Production)**\ Recommended minimum memory size for a **production environment**, supporting up to **500 active users** under typical workload conditions. * **32 GB RAM (Recommended for Larger Production Systems)**\ Recommended minimum memory size for production systems supporting up to **1,500 active users**, providing additional headroom for concurrency and background processing. *** **Memory Estimation Context** The memory guidelines above assume: * Standard application complexity * Typical transaction volume * Normal background processing load These values provide a starting point for capacity planning rather than fixed limits. *** **Important Considerations** For more accurate memory sizing, additional factors should be taken into account, including: * Complexity of application logic and workflows * Transaction volume and processing intensity * Number of concurrent users * Integration with external systems * Background jobs, schedulers, and batch processes Applications with complex workflows or high transaction rates may require additional memory beyond the baseline recommendations. *** **Architectural Alignment** Memory sizing decisions should always be aligned with: * Selected deployment architecture (Standalone, High Availability, or Cloud) * Environment type (Development, Testing, Production) * Expected peak usage and growth trends Proper memory planning helps prevent performance degradation, excessive garbage collection, and system instability. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.onewebstack.com/getting-started/installation-guide/plan-your-oneweb-installation/sizing-consideration/memory-sizing.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
