Hardware guidance to run a delta node

[anjor]

Hardware recommendations for running a delta node, so that clients who want to run their own delta node know how much infra to provision.

Yes. Thank you for raising this. Delta is lightweight so the hardware requirement to run is not demanding.

I'll add it here and on our set up docs.

To run delta

• Processor: Any multi-core processor with a clock speed of at least 1.5 GHz. AMD based processors recommended (for commp).
• RAM: RAM requirement will vary based on usage but At least 1 GB of RAM to run and process small datasets.
• Hard Drive: Storage requirement will vary based on the dataset that Delta will process. At least 50 GB of storage space.
• Operating System: Tested on MacOS, Linux. Reportedly works as expected on Windows.
• Networking: A standard network interface card (NIC) with a speed of at least 100 Mbps. May vary depending on how large the data will be since online/e2e deals can use considerable amount of egress.

Note that these requirements may vary depending on the specific needs of your application.
