Comment on Open-Source Slack Alternative Mattermost Gets $50M Funding

Comments

What blows my mind about Mattermost is the server requirements... for what essentially is a message broker, you have need a multi-gig box for a deployment that can support 8 people. Part of the problem is their tech stack.

Generally the requirements depend on factors like network speeds and estimated storage usage per user. Here's more information on Mattermost hardware requirements: https://docs.mattermost.com/install/requirements.html#hardwa...

Would love to learn more if you have concerns about server hardware requirements.

That sounds like overestimating just to be safe. I run an MM instance for triple that number of people on an ARM SOC with 2GB RAM and it works beautifully. Not only that but I compile it from source on the same box with no problems.

For someone who has no experience with Mattermost, can you explain? This seems crazy.
