I have tried a few basic tutorials to create and deploy stream applications in spring cloud data flow. Every time I try to deploy the applications spring cloud data flow just hangs. Even prior to deploying it seems that the runtime tab is not loading. Is this a memory or version issue? My docker version is Version 18.03.1-ce-win65 (17513).
The "hanging" behavior is typically observed when the Docker daemon running in your machine is under-provisioned.
Depending on the SCDF version in use, the Docker Compose experience includes SCDF (boot app), Skipper (boot app), MySQL, Kafka, Prometheus/Influx, and Grafana. Apart from SCDF and Skipper, all the other components require a lot of CPU/Memory.
We recommend a minimum of 8G RAM and 6 CPU cores. See below the screenshot of my local setup. You can compare this with yours and adjust accordingly. Perhaps then please tear everything down and retry.
