I love the game, created a german niche website about backgammon with steady traffic since years. Always happy to see new solutions. How do you cover the serve

  I've designed the server and its embedded backgammon engine to use very few resources, so it's all able to run on a dual core VPS that I am already using for my numerous other projects. Everything needed, including Postgres, currently uses less than 256 megabytes of memory and negligible CPU. As it grows, I intend to follow in Lichess' footsteps by offering a paid supporter badge without locking any functionality behind a paywall. Because the server is lightweight, just a few paid supporters should be able to offset the costs for many free users.
