 ### Database
 
 The platform needs a PostgreSQL 15 database. For a quick evaluation, the Helm chart can deploy one for you (see [Step 2](./#step-2-deploy-platform)); for production use, bring your own PostgreSQL instance. In that case prepare the following before the first start:

 ## Machine Requirements
 
-The machine you are installing Steadybit onto must have **at least** 4 CPUs and 8 GB available memory.
+Each platform instance needs **at least** 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of available memory. With more than 100k targets in the platform, we recommend doubling this to 4 vCPUs and 8 GB per instance.
+
+The platform image is published for x86-64 (`amd64`) and 64-bit ARM (`arm64`), so it runs on either architecture, including AWS Graviton.
