Description:

A number of queries in Slack and on the forums have been related to Mautic performance. It would be good to establish a "minimum hardware requirement" for Mautic to provide recommendations in future.

I suggest that we provide specs for the following use cases:

1. up to 500 contacts, two campaigns
2. up to 2000 contacts, 5 campaigns

3. 5000 contacts, 10 campaigns

If those numbers look wrong, please correct them - I'm happy to look at how we might test this etc.

Fantastic idea Matthew!

I think it could be interesting to also take into account which features you plan to use.
For example sending emails only (that's probably over 60% of users) requires very little hardware, while tracking anonymous visitors can get pretty hard on the database, hence easily requiring double the hardware than just sending emails, for the same amount of contacts.

This topic is becoming kind of a very asked question lately, so I've made a small guide...
