What are appropriate VM resources for single dev on prem environment?
We have installed Pega Platform 8.6 following the Pega recommended instructions to use Docker and miniKube/kind and using the Pega provided helm charts. This is for a single dev environment of 1-4 users.
We have the following resources on our VM (single node), yet we have noticed the first access of nearly every rule in Dev Studio is slow and often does not load (see attached image for example). A simple browser refresh loads the rule and subsequent accesses to that rule seem to load fine. But accessing other rules for the first time often lead to similar issues. If we were to add more resources to try to solve the issue, where would we need to increase? Should we even need to add resources? Is there any way to identify the source of the bottleneck? Ultimately we want to be able to run Customer Decision Hub 8.6 on this node, but it seems strained to even run the base Pega Platform!
Thank you in advance. Current environment:
VM:
8 CPUs
32 Gb of RAM.
Kubernetes environment: kind
Allocated resources:
Pega batch, web, and stream:
2 CPUs
8 Gb RAM.
pegasearch:
1 CPU
3 Gb RAM.
Cassandra and PostgreSQL are on a separate VM node.
