| This deployment method is not recommended for production environments. If you're looking to deploy a production Mattermost instance, we recommend using managed container services like AWS ECS, Azure Container Apps, or Google Cloud Run. These services provide better scalability, reliability, and maintenance features suited for production workloads. | ||

Do we have more detailed guidelines on the system requirements in the new docs? In the old version, there was a handy page with the suggested resources (https://docs.mattermost.com/scale/scaling-for-enterprise.html). Does that still exist?
