> it's pretty absurd to only have 1GB for a web application in 2016, even for a small one what is pretty absurd is the amount of memory a ruby web application uses. 1GB should be enough in 2016 to serve a small web app. Ruby might be a pleasant language to write it was never designed to be efficient memory wise. And frameworks like Rails that have 0 concerns for real performances make things even worse. That's why people are ditching Ruby for statically typed alternatives, constantly. It's just not a good language for the task in 2016.
