What hardware does Olakai on-prem require?

Olakai on-prem runs the entire platform on a single Linux virtual machine via Docker Compose, with sizing driven by how many people and coding agents you monitor and how long you keep the data, not by raw compute. A Pilot tier (up to ~250 monitored users) requires 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, and 200 GB data disk; a Standard tier (~250 to 1,500 users) requires 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 500 GB data disk; and a Large tier (1,500 to 3,000+ users) requires 8 vCPU, 32 to 64 GB RAM, and 500 GB to 1 TB data disk.

Single-VM Deployment Architecture

Olakai on-prem deploys the complete platform—including application services, database, object storage, message queues, and background processing—on a single Linux virtual machine using Docker Compose. It is the full platform, not a thin agent that phones home for the real work.

Hardware Sizing by Deployment Tier

Hardware requirements depend on the number of monitored users and agents, as well as data retention needs. For a Pilot deployment covering up to ~250 monitored users, requirements are 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, and 200 GB data disk. A Standard deployment covering ~250 to 1,500 monitored users specifies 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 500 GB data disk. A Large deployment covering 1,500 to 3,000+ monitored users requires 8 vCPU, 32 to 64 GB RAM, and 500 GB to 1 TB data disk. One virtual machine covers the entire platform at each tier, with internal Postgres, Redis, and object storage included or pointing to existing managed instances.

Supported Operating Systems and Environments

The virtual machine can be hosted in an on-premises data center or within customer AWS, Azure, or GCP accounts. Supported operating systems include Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, Oracle Linux, and Amazon Linux, running on Docker or rootless Podman.
