							|  |  |  | # Minimum Hardware Requirements
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | OpenMetadata requires either MySQL or PostgreSQL as Backend Database and ElasticSearch or OpenSearch as Search Engine.  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Please refer to the [architecture section](/developers/architecture) for more details. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | We recommend the following for the Production Grade OpenMetadata Installation - | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ## MySQL or PostgreSQL as Database
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Our minimum specs recommendation for MySQL / PostgreSQL as database deployment is  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 4 vCPUs | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 16 GiB Memory | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 100 GiB Storage | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | These settings apply as well when using managed instances, such as AWS RDS or GCP CloudSQL or Azure Flexible Servers. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### Software Requirements
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | OpenMetadata currently supports - | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - MySQL version 8.0.0 or higher | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - PostgreSQL version 12.0 or higher | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ## ElasticSearch or OpenSearch as Search Instance
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Our minimum specs recommendation for ElasticSearch / OpenSearch deployment is | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 2 vCPUs | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 8 GiB Memory | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 100 GiB Storage (per node) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - Master / Worker Nodes with atleast 1 Master and 2 Worker Nodes | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### Software Requirements
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | OpenMetadata currently supports - | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - ElasticSearch version 8.X till 8.11.4 | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2025-07-09 21:52:19 +05:30
										 |  |  | - OpenSearch version 2.19 | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2025-03-17 17:23:04 +00:00
										 |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | These settings apply as well when using managed instances, such as AWS OpenSearch Service or Elastic Cloud on GCP, AWS, Azure. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ## Apache Airflow as Ingestion Instance
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Our minimum specs recommendation for Apache Airflow is | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 4 vCPU | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 16 GiB Memory | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - 100 GiB Storage for Airflow Dags and Logs | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### Software Requirements
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | OpenMetadata currently supports - | 
					
						
							|
