Intro
We designed Spika 3 for every average developer to be able to modify it easily. We use only industry-standard libraries and frameworks, and aim for the code to be as simple as possible.
System requirements
Server
Minimum hardware requirements
We use a demo server on AWS’s T2 medium instance for about 50 people in our company.
| Processor | 3.3 GHz, 2 cores |
| Memory | 4 GB |
| Storage | 128 GB (depends on the user behavior) |
The storage capacity is only used for the operating system, to run the Spika server, and for the frontend. You need to adjust the storage based on the way you use it.

For testing, we use Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.
