Hello, I am currently running a forum with approximately:
• 800,000 topics
• Around 12,000 daily active users
• Hosted on a dedicated server with 64GB RAM
I am considering migrating to Discourse and would like to understand:
1. At this scale, would Discourse require any special customization or architectural adjustments?
2. Is a single 64GB dedicated server generally sufficient?
Any advice or experience from similar migrations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you！

That’s likely more than enough. How many daily pageviews do you have?

Because users have a very high search frequency, and considering there are 800,000 topics, I am wondering whether some customized search solution might be necessary.
