Minimum hardware requirements for deployment?

[johannesschaffer]

I need to choose a Digital Ocean droplet plan. Is the base tier 4$ enough, and when not, which plan/hardware is at least required?
Strapi specifies 1 core, 2gb RAM, but that seems quite high?

I'm running payload on railway and it's really far from the pay play. I'm using about 0.2 ram on standby and 0.5 when recieve more visits.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I since deployed it to the DigitalOcean App Platform and running on the basic tear (0.5GB RAM). Seems to work great 👌

Did you have any issues with cross-end in the serve command when deploying on App Platform? I get "cross-env not found" even though it's in my dependency list.

Yeah, you either need to reinstall the dev-dependencies, since DO uninstalls them, or remove the cross-env command (only required in Windows)
