I saw the compose file but I’m wondering if I need multiple cores and a lot of ram? Can I just host it on my raspberry pi or I need to spin up a x86 server?

I'd suggest a minimum of 2GB ram. The data collection is done via Java (Micronaut project). While it can cope with thousands of requests per second quite happily on a single instance, it does require a bit of ram.

I wish apps are written in more RAM friendly languages like Go.

I don't have enough RAM to run all those Java tools. (Metabase, Sentry etc)

I agree. We actually chose Java due to support within the community. Our first choice was Rust :)

It would not be a huge project to convert to Go or Rust though.
