Hi,

You can run Elasticsearch with min 4GB ram as well if you are not going to index heavy load data. You can run with single node as well.

Just follow quick strat [guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/getting-started.html).

Also, you can try free trial of [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/signup?baymax=docs-body&elektra=docs) as well.
