Metabase 60 and RAM requirements

Metabase 60 and RAM requirements

Starting with its x.60 branch, Metabase requires at least 2 GB of RAM to run. The XS Java instance currently used by default for the Metabase add-on on Clever Cloud only provides 1 GB of RAM, which is no longer enough. To make sure your Metabase instance keeps deploying and running smoothly, we are adapting the default sizing:

  • Metabase add-ons created from today onwards use a S Java instance instead of XS
  • When the update to version 60 will be offered, existing add-ons will automatically be migrated to a S Java instance during the upgrade

If you want to keep an XS instance, stay on the x.59 branch by setting CC_METABASE_VERSION to 0.59 (or 1.59 for the Enterprise Edition) on the underlying Java application. Keep in mind that staying on x.59 means you will not receive the new features shipped with x.60 and beyond; security patches and some fixes will still be provided as long as the 0.59 branch is maintained. We recommend moving to a S instance and the latest branch as soon as possible.
