A guide to memory requirements

[AP-Hunt]

Gents,

I've been using Statamic 2 heavily in the last months, and I've been bumping up against out of memory errors with some regularity. I think a great addition to the server requirements section would be some information on memory requirements. For example: if I've got Xmb of entries in a single collection, I should set my PHP memory limit to a minimum of Y; if I'm running PHP 7 I can reduce that by Z percent.

I can have a go at adding this guidance myself, but I'm sure I'm not the best person to be doing so because I only have my own experiences to go on; eg that my 321 entry, 24mb collection doesn't fit within the 512mb memory limit I currently have set for PHP.

I'd be happy to collect data to help with this, if you see it as a valuable addition.

Regards,
Andy
