Is Mac mini m4 16 256 enough for Java development?

by Poster Nov 12, 2024 60
The original intention of purchasing I have an idle 27-inch 4k monitor at home, and the fan of the win host used is too big. I have just given birth to a baby at home and have to visit the baby at any time and turn off the host. I have taken a fancy to the low power consumption and silent advantages of the mini m4, so I can turn off the monitor at any time to coax the baby. After the baby falls asleep, turn on the monitor and immediately resume the coding state just now, haha ~ # # # # Usage Scenario For daily Java back-end development, open up to 2 IDEAs at the same time, open connection tools such as Navicat and Xshell, WeChat, NetEase Cloud, Chrome browser, etc.! # # # # Planned Use I want to install docker on mini, and then install the database, redis, and message middleware on docker. I wonder if the memory can satisfy it? Has anyone tested it? Ask for advice ~ Plans for the future Take the mini m4 as a transition machine, and later want to build a high-performance MBP, which can be a large memory and large storage model in one step.

    I'm afraid it's a bit tight to do java in 16G

    You can try it, it is estimated that it will work, but it is definitely not sufficient. No, 15 days refund anyway

    I also want to buy it, but 32 G notebook memory feels like it is not enough. 64 G is better, and 16 G is too tight.

    Why not buy a cloud server to install Redis database message middleware? Exclude these 16g is enough

    16 +256 M1 Mac mini's main development machine has no pressure, but my premise is not to use docker

    @ Anonymous11537 I think too, so I posted to ask, but I use it lightly at home and want to try it. The company also has a 32GB win host. I wonder if the memory optimization of mac is better

    @ Anonymous2148 jd bought it, and it can't be returned after unpacking it. By the way, my mini won't be shipped until November 22nd, which is sad ~

    @ Anonymous11538 I use it lightly at home, mainly to look at the source code for running tests, not to distribute microservices, so I want to buy it and try it; The main reason is that this year's mini m4 does not increase the price when it increases the quantity, and it is smaller. I couldn't help but buy it after brushing it at night hahaha ~

    @ Anonymous11539 I have a cloud host. It just expired and released yesterday. I don't want to buy it again. The company's server has a set of basic implementation services in use. The lightweight server I bought at a special price at that time cost less than 100 yuan a year, but the renewal fee cost 1,400 +, so I gave up if it was not cost-effective ~

    It is not a big problem to open one or two projects, provided that you don't open virtual machines and Docker

    @ Anonymous11538 You can go to the seafood market to see the second-hand M2 max Mac Studio, some of which are quite fragrant ~

    @ Anonymous6247 uses Docker mainly to do centralized management of databases and middleware. If the memory is not rich, I have to give up. However, I still have ThinkPad. If I can't use it for infrastructure, it's also a solution!

    @ Poster # 12 Buy a silent small host, install Linux, native Docker, aren't you happy? Anyway, running middleware for development doesn't require any performance, just have enough memory

    @ Poster Every year, Tencent's lightweight cloud anniversary celebration (anniversary flash sale on the evening of September 26th) can buy an annual 88 yuan/year 2-core 4G.

    @ Anonymous6247 Any recommendations

    It is estimated that it will be tight if you open a few ideas

    Definitely 32 experience best... Developing java eats memory wow

    Just turn down the win host fan and solve the problem

    Not enough, starting at 32G
  • Anonymous4281 Nov 12, 2024
    16g is estimated to be just enough for you. If you open a few more pages in the browser, you may swap it. If the budget is not tight, I suggest you go to 24g or 32g.
