Why?
  • Minimum S (512 MB): estimated from the app's language, dependencies and category: about 320 MB. We add 25% headroom on top.
  • Recommended S (512 MB): the project's docs ask for 512 MB for the whole server (docs/system_requirements.md); about 256 MB of that is for the app itself. Raised to the minimum, S.
  • It can sleep when idle, which is the cheapest way to run it.
Get started
