> try to deploy a Java or C# program as an Ubuntu service on a low-end 512 MB Digital Ocean host Others have already pointed out doing this with .NET, and yes, it's also possible in Java land. I have done this, even running a Spring Boot service which is generally considered more heavy weight than other frameworks like Dropwizard. A plain Spring Boot service runs in about 15-20MB RAM if I recall. And now with the GC improvements in Java 11+, it's even better. http://august.nagro.us/small-java.html http://august.nagro.us/small-java.html
