I'm right now setting up a gerrit instance for another project (not as
large as Postgres) on a VM with 1GB of RAM and it works alright. You'll
want to run a Postgres database next to it for storing the actual
reviews and such.

It's a nice tool and integrates reasonably well with other thing. We
have a bot connected to it which sends messages on IRC in response to
various state changes. I've never seen an instance respond to email
though.

Have a nice day,
