Does Varnish require much RAM?

Hi,

Other than virtual memory, How about RAM usage for Varnish?

Is it much RAM needed?

• Caches obviously thrive on memory. But how much you need depends on your site.

  Benchmark varnish+your site using request logs, and see how fast memory use grows. Use a vm to test how many requests you can handle with different ram configurations (enable a ram balloon driver).
