What are the system requirements to run Devtron effectively?
The resource requirements vary based on how many applications you'll manage:
For up to 5 apps:
Devtron with CI/CD: 2 CPUs, 6 GB RAM
Helm Dashboard: 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM
For more than 5 apps:
Devtron with CI/CD: 6 CPUs, 13 GB RAM
Helm Dashboard: 2 CPUs, 3 GB RAM
Avoid using burstable CPU VMs (like T-series on AWS) to ensure consistent performance.

How can I back up Devtron for disaster recovery on AWS or Azure?
Backing up Devtron is essential for disaster recovery and business continuity. Devtron provides a dedicated Helm chart—devtron-backups—to automate regular backups of PostgreSQL and ArgoCD data.
You can store these backups on either AWS S3 or Azure containers.
For AWS S3:
Create an S3 bucket and a user with permission to upload backups.
Use the access key and secret access key during chart configuration.
Backups will be automatically uploaded at scheduled intervals.
For Azure Containers:
Set up a storage account and create two containers.
Copy the access key from the Access Key section in Azure.
Disable AWS during configuration.
Backups will be automatically uploaded to Azure containers.
This setup ensures your critical data is secure and can be restored quickly in case of failure.
