Hi @iuviene,

For personal use and software development:

  • CPU:
    • 2vCPU
  • Memory:
    • 2GB minimum, 16GB or more recommended.
  • Storage
    • 10GB of Disk Space

For cloud environments:

  • CPU:
    • 2vCPU
  • Memory:
    • 2GB minimum, 16GB or more recommended.
  • Storage
    • 10GB of Disk Space

That’s the information I got from the neo4j website. With that said, I would recommend you to start with the smallest droplet which provides only 1 GB of RAM and see if that works out for you. If it doesn’t, you can always upgrade to a bigger one!
