I fully agree. With a dedicated server, memory and bandwidth are more often the bottleneck than CPU. I am using scaleway.com since 2 weeks. My small arm server runs squid (to bypass the proxy of my society) and a little static server that fits almost entirely in RAM. It works like a charm.
- sheraz 11y agoI've also been playing with Scaleway's ARM servers for a scraping project and to learn more about distributed computing. (details here in other HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10371316 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10371316) I've been able to scale my scraping to over almost 100 requests per second in aggregate across 1.8MM domains. And these little Atom quad core machines are great. I just got my account upgraded to "developer" which mean I can spin up 100 machine (400 cores!), so I'm going to be experimenting with that.
- juiced 11y agoFWIW: The Scaleway servers are not Atom, but ARM based servers.
