Summary

Support for deployment in EC2 Graviton instances, currently on normal instances are supported.

Why should this be worked on?

EC2 Graviton instances are nearly 50% much cheaper and has a greater availability.

@naveenthontepu have you tried deploying it with docker?

[naveenthontepu]

I have not tried the docker deployment rather was using AMI for my deployment so will it be fine to use Graviton instances when using docket?

Hi @naveenthontepu , @sharat87 , @pratapaprasanna I've opened a PR to add support for EC2 Graviton instances: #37870

✅ Dockerfile and docker-compose are now ARM64 compatible using a multi-arch base image.

⚠️ I couldn’t test this on an actual Graviton EC2 instance due to AWS account issues.

I kindly request a maintainer or contributor to verify the deployment on a t4g.small or c7g.medium.

Thanks!

Hi @Lavanyajc sorry I missed your question earlier. We already support ARM instances if you just run via a docker-compose on an EC2 instance. The issue is that our AMI publishing does not offer an ARM-based option, only x86. I don't believe there's anything someone from outside of the Appsmith org can do to fix that part as it's a Marketplace / AMI building issue.
