Tips & operations

  • Plan deployment carefully — ERPNext is heavy; min 4 GB RAM, 4 vCPU for production
  • Customize via Frappe Framework — don't fork; use the framework's extension system
  • Multi-tenant via sites — Frappe supports multi-site; useful for agencies
  • Backup is layered — DB + files + private files; use Frappe's backup CLI
  • Mind upgrade path — major version upgrades require migration planning
