Hello Everyone I'm new to Elasticsearch and I don't have much knowledge yet in server setup how would you recommend to setup a server that will going to hold atleast 270k documents a month for atleast 4 months, how many servers? how many replicas? any suggestions? ---

I would safely start with a single node, unless you need replicas. If those documents are not crazy big, but each one is just a few kilobytes big, then this sounds enough to play around with. However keep in mind that this is super generic advice. I dont know about the query load, the mapping configuration, the number of fields, etc. Consider it a rough starting point. ---
