Bear in mind that Linode's SAS arrays apparently already outperform Digital Ocean's (presumably somewhat crappy) SSD setup, so this may or may not be a silver bullet.
I have a Postgres-based service on a Linode — it works fine in my (mainly read-based) use case, but I do pay for quite a lot of RAM in order to get enough caching.
- walden42 13y agoDo you have a source for this? I just did a quick google search, and although they're somewhat comparable, DO outperformed Linode. And the tests were for read-only, not writes. I'd wager that writes are much faster on an SSD.
