# Resource Requirements

> CPU, RAM, and disk requirements

BotMux is a lightweight single-binary application.

| Resource         | Minimum          | Recommended | Notes                                    |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **CPU**          | 1 core           | 1–2 cores   | Each bot runs as a lightweight goroutine |
| **RAM**          | 20–30 MB         | 50–100 MB   | Pure Go, no CGO                          |
| **Disk**         | \~16 MB (binary) | 100+ MB     | SQLite DB grows with messages            |
| **Docker image** | \~25–30 MB       | —           | Alpine-based, stripped binary            |

## Scaling

A minimal VPS (1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, 10 GB disk) comfortably handles dozens of bots and thousands of messages per day.
