Anyone know what "1/8 OCPU and 1 GB memory each" translates to in processing power? Fine for a personal hobby web server to try out nodejs on?

- exikyut 6y agoWhat benchmark do you want me to run? (Not `dd`. Something actually useful.)
- austhrow743 6y agoNone would make any sense to me. I'm working my way through freecodecamp and feel like starting to play with a server.
- exikyut 6y agoThat's awesome. Well, while it certainly looks (and feels) a bit like a cliché, I find myself recommending AWS for such a purpose. Common issues will be a single StackOverflow answer away. The platform (infra, byzantine pricing model) is at least well documented. The company has a reputation for making expensive honest accidents go away :). This being said, exploration and _actually having to dive into something_ can provide insight and understanding that just doesn't get mentally registered when on the mainstream path (because it all just works). And as another commenter said, you get 10TB of traffic. Which is hands-down insane. At 450Mbps too. (Boggles) (AWS is 1GB/mo, albeit at 1Gbit.)
- scaladev 6y agoI host quite a lot of stuff on those two VMs, works fine.
- austhrow743 6y agoThanks!
- Madzen__ 6y agoIts perfect for a hobby web server! I am currently running one for myself. I will say it can be tricky to get the firewall correct with Ubuntu, I am using Centos 7 which seems better documented for their services.
- hansor 6y agoIts working just fine. Running some MySQL and Minecraft server without any problems. And free 10TB of traffic...
