How big is a sonar database?

Question

It might looks like a dumb question. In fact it's more like a poll: how big is your Sonar database? I need this to estimate the requirements for a virtual machine to host my Sonar instance.

Also:

• how big is your team?
• how many additional bytes is used in the Sonar database for every new commit?

I will appreciate any help.

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you're referring to Sonar from Codehaus, and not SOund Navigation And Ranging.

From the installation page:

The Sonar web server requires 500Mo of RAM to run efficiently.

In terms of data space and as an indication, on Nemo the public instance of Sonar, 2Go of data space are used to analyze more than 6 million LOC with an history of 2 years. For every 1'000 LOC to analyze the database stores 350 Ko of data space.
