This page give details related to the setup sustaining myxwiki.org which is used by the XWiki Dev Team as a real life test of a very big XWiki instance.

Container and hardware

• maximum memory allocated to the JVM: 2048m (not huge but one of the points of MyXWiki.org is to make sure XWiki is not too bad at handling memory)
• 5 cores 2.8GHz on a physical server
• installed/upgraded using XWiki Debian packages
• MariaDB 10.3
• Tomcat 9

Performance related customizations

Remote Solr instance

The kind of volume myxwiki.org have to deal with does not fit well with the Solr embedded mode so we had to use a dedicated Solr standalone instance located on a different server.

• maximum memory allocated to Solr JVM: 2048m
• 2 cores allocated by VMWare
