Yeah, with Rails + MySQL, 1GB is best in my experience. I bet someone could tune it all to run in 512 MB, but for me, the difference in money isn't worth the extra effort. I'm not really sure how one would "port" a Rails app to a Node app -- the layout of the app and libraries you'd need would be completely different. I've built several small apps in Node.js and Express, and I have to say, debugging Node.js code is way harder than Ruby. If you do decide to build something, please let me know! I'd be interested in following your work.
