# What are ZITADEL Minimum Self-Hosted Specs?

## Looking to define minimum specifications needed for Self-Hosting a ZITADEL instance?

When self-hosting ZITADEL, it can consume around 512MB RAM and run with less than 1 CPU core. The database component, under typical conditions, utilizes about one CPU core per 100 requests per second (req/s) and 4GB of RAM per core, which includes some caching.

Be aware of CPU spikes when hashing passwords. We recommend to have 4 CPU cores available for this purpose.
