System requirements and compatibility¶
Before deploying Percona Search for MongoDB, ensure that your environment meets the software, hardware, and deployment requirements for mongot.
Important
The requirements listed below provide the minimum supported configuration. Production environments that handle large collections or high search traffic typically require additional CPU, memory, and storage resources.
Version compatibility¶
mongot requires Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB) version 8.3 or later. Ensure that the mongot build you deploy is compatible with the PSMDB version in your environment.
Operating system support¶
mongot is supported on Linux systems running one of the following processor architectures:
- x86_64 (64-bit x86)
- ARM64 (AArch64)
Verify that your operating system and architecture are supported by the current release of Percona Server for MongoDB before deployment.
Memory requirements¶
A minimum of 4 GB of RAM is required to run mongot.
Search indexes are maintained in memory whenever possible to improve query performance. Deployments with large collections, high-dimensional vectors, or multiple search indexes may require significantly more memory than the minimum requirement.
Storage recommendations¶
Although mongot can run on any supported storage device, solid-state drives (SSDs) are strongly recommended for production deployments.
