Database

PostgreSQL

Resource footprint

512 MB RAM · 1 CPU

512 MB RAM / 1 core for the Go/Vue app plus a small PostgreSQL instance is plenty for personal or small-team task management. Written in Go, the API binary itself is very light; footprint mostly comes from the database and number of concurrent users.
