I ran one of the popular web sites in Turkey on a AMD Duron 600Mhz 512MB RAM server until 2003. It used to serve 70 million pages per month on a Windows Server when it was retired. Because the site is a social platform, most of the content had to be dynamically generated too. I believe the PC had cost me around $500 when I bought it in 2000 or so, obviously a lower spec than even a Raspberry Pi4 today.

- deterministic 3y agoExactly. Developers seems to be hell bent on making software as slow as possible and/or maximising the cost of running servers. I bet that 99% of businesses out there could comfortable run on a single server with lots of RAM. With another servers on warm stand-by.
