System Requirements

Joget DX runs on industry-standard technologies and can be deployed on a standard web application architecture on-premise or public/private cloud platforms, making it highly flexible and open to different environments. This page provides an overview of Joget DX's infrastructure architecture and hardware requirements, which will help you analyze your server and hardware needs.

Joget DX architecture

Understanding Joget DX infrastructure architecture is crucial to analyzing and determining your server's hardware specifications. The following diagram illustrates the platform's standard infrastructure architecture:

The Joget architecture, presented in the above diagram, is composed by:

Load Balancer or Reverse Proxy: Forwards external requests to the application servers and performs load balancing if required.
Application Server: Java EE-compliant application server running on any Java-supported operating system.
Database Server: The main relational database for platform and application data, such as MySQL or Oracle.
File Storage: Shared file storage for configuration and runtime files.

The architecture presented above is merely for reference and may vary according to requirements and environment. The Joget DX platform is packaged as a Java WAR file deployed to one or more Java EE application servers.

Hardware requirements

There are many factors involved in determining the server specifications needed to run Joget DX effectively, such as:

Total number of users
Maximum expected concurrent users
Complexity of apps running on the platform
Complexity of the processes running on the platform
Amount of data generated
Integrations points
Network Infrastructure

Every environment is different, and the following are base guidelines for high-level reference only.

Deployment Size	Description	CPU Cores	RAM (GB)	SSD Storage (GB)	Servers
Small	100 users, Simple processes, Simple integrations.	2	8	20	1
Medium	500 users, Processes of normal complexity, Standard integrations.	4	16	40	2
Large	1,000 users, Complex processes, Complex integrations.	8	32	80	4
Extra Large	5,000 users, Highly complex processes, Highly complex integrations.	16	64	160	8

RECOMMENDATIONS:

To determine actual requirements, conduct performance tests on specific use cases and environments.
Start small and plan to scale.
For large-scale implementations, consider using Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift, but ensure that you have sufficient expertise and support to manage the platform.

However, Joget normally proposes an initial architecture to deploy your application, and then you can scale it as the traffic grows. The suggested initial architecture to handle 500 concurrent users is described in the following table.

Server	CPU	RAM	Storage	Network
Web Server / Load Balancer	Quad Core Intel Xeon 2CPU	4GB SDRAM ECC Memory	At least 300GB SSD	Gigabit Ethernet
Application Server 1	Quad Core Intel Xeon 2CPU	8GB SDRAM ECC Memory	At least 500GB SSD	Gigabit Ethernet
Application Server 2	Quad Core Intel Xeon 2CPU	8GB SDRAM ECC Memory	At least 500GB SSD	Gigabit Ethernet
Database Server	Quad Core Intel Xeon 2CPU	8GB SDRAM ECC Memory	At least 1TB SSD	Gigabit Ethernet

The necessary hard disk space will depend on the data stored, PDF document uploads, images, and zip files. In addition, you can configure it on a VM Environment if you wish.

Note that the Joget DX 8 Large Enterprise Edition (LEE) must be used to set up the clustered environment.

Supported products

Joget DX is highly open and flexible and can be deployed in many environments. Using products that are still actively supported by the respective vendors is strongly recommended. The Supported products by JogetDX are listed in the following table:

Product Type	Products
Operating Systems	Windows 2016 and above Linux (Any distribution that supports Java 11 and above)
Java	Java 11 LTS Java 17 LTS
Application Servers	Apache Tomcat 9 JBoss EAP 7.4 and above IBM Websphere Liberty 19 and above Oracle Weblogic 12c and above
Database Server	MySQL 8 and above MariaDB 10 and above MS SQL Server 2016 and above Oracle 12c and above PostgreSQL 10 and above
File Storage	Local disk for non-clustered installation NFS / SMB network share for clustered installation
Load Balancer / Reverse Proxy	Apache HTTP Server 2.4 and above NGINX 1.2 and above Any hardware or software load balancer or reverse proxy that transparently forwards requests to the application server

Minimal configuration is required in Joget DX itself. Most configurations are on separate infrastructure components, so it is vital to have sufficient expertise in the chosen products. Alternatively, consider hosting at Joget Cloud to outsource the infrastructure management.
