Seeing that over the last few years Micro-Service architecture is rapidly increasing, and each Micro-Service usually needs its own database, I think this type of question is actually becoming more appropriate.

I was looking for this answer seeing that we were exploring the possibility to create small databases on many servers, and was wondering for interest sake what the minimum requirements for a Maria/MySQL DB would be...

Anyway I got this helpful answer from here that I thought I could also share here if someone else was looking into it...

When starting up, it (the database) allocates all the RAM it needs. By default, it will use around 400MB of RAM, which isn’t noticible with a database server with 64GB of RAM, but it is quite significant for a small virtual machine. If you add in the default InnoDB buffer pool setting of 128MB, you’re well over your 512MB RAM allotment and that doesn’t include anything from the operating system.
