I've lost more than my fair share of servers to cost-cutters. Fuck that. Life is too short. Also, you can't suggest that everyone should run 4 vCPU/8 GB RAM. Sure, 99% will never need more than that. The 1% who go viral will. If those people have 4/8 servers, because that's what was recommended, then anybody who goes viral will have their server die a fiery death. Behold, the social network's reputation will be that virality is a kiss of death. Watch as everyone leaves in droves. Federated social needs federation AND spike resilience. Serverless handles your fifteen minutes of fame with ease at a small premium. Discount VPS providers do not.
