PostHog Performance Issues on GCP with Minimum Specs (8GB RAM, 2 CPU cores)

[anqorithm]

In what situation are you experiencing subpar performance?

I encountered performance issues while running PostHog with the minimum recommended specs of 8GB RAM and 2 CPU cores on GCP. The system worked for about 30 minutes but then became unresponsive and eventually went down.

How to reproduce

1. Set up PostHog on GCP with the minimum specs: 8GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores.
2. Follow the installation guide for self-hosting.
3. Monitor the system for 30 minutes after installation.

Environment

• PostHog Cloud
• PostHog self-hosted with Kubernetes (deprecated, see ["Sunsetting Kubernetes support"](https://posthog.com/blog/sunsetting-helm-support-posthog)), version/commit: [please provide]

Additional context

Despite following the installation guide with the recommended specs, the system worked for a short while (about 30 minutes) before becoming unresponsive and eventually going down. Consider using higher specs to ensure stability.
