It relly depends on how high you go in the Show HN.
In October '15, I posted https://sheetsu.com https://sheetsu.com to Show HN, starting with $5 DigitalOcean server (512MB RAM, 1 core). Before it popped out to the first page, server died, so I have to resize it to handle the traffic.
During the peak, I've 316 users online. [1] You have to know, that if you do well on the Show HN, probably somebody will repost it, share a link, etc. So it's not only traffic from the HN itself.
I was for the whole day on the first page, in the top position. On that day I get 9,812 new sessions. Overall, from the Show HN only (referrer was HN) I get 12,715 sessions that week. [2]
