In a corporate environment, for internal use, I often see egregiously specced VMs or machines for sites that have very low requests per second. There's a commercial monitoring app that runs on K8s, 3 VMs of 128GB RAM each, to monitor 600 systems; using 500MB per system, basically, just to poll it each 5 minutes, do some pretty graphs, etc. Of course it has a complex app server integrated into the web server and so forth.
- RedShift1 1y agoYep. ERP vendors are the worst offenders. Last deployment for 40-ish users "needed" an 22 CPU cores and 44 GB of RAM. After long back and forths I negotiated down to 8 CPU cores and 32 GB. Looking at the usage statistics, it's 10% MAX... And it's cloud infra so paying a lot for RAM and CPU sitting unused.
- ted537 1y agoHaha yes -- like what do you mean this CRUD app needs 20 GB of RAM and half an hour to startup?
