GitLab – Requirements

Hardware requirements

CPU

1 core works supports up to 100 users but the application can be a bit slower due to having all workers and background jobs running on the same core
2 cores is the recommended number of cores and supports up to 500 users
4 cores supports up to 2,000 users
8 cores supports up to 5,000 users
16 cores supports up to 10,000 users
32 cores supports up to 20,000 users
64 cores supports up to 40,000 users
Memory

512MB is the absolute minimum but we do not recommend this amount of memory. You will either need to configure 512MB or 1.5GB of swap space. With 512MB of swap space you must configure only one unicorn worker. With one unicorn worker only git over ssh access will work because the git over http access requires two running workers (one worker to receive the user request and one worker for the authorization check). If you use SSD storage and configure 1.5GB of swap space you can use two Unicorn workers, this will allow http access but it will still be slow.
1GB RAM + 1GB swap supports up to 100 users
2GB RAM is the recommended memory size and supports up to 500 users
4GB RAM supports up to 2,000 users
8GB RAM supports up to 5,000 users
16GB RAM supports up to 10,000 users
32GB RAM supports up to 20,000 users
64GB RAM supports up to 40,000 users
