Server infrastructure for Automotive Software
Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what Automotive Software actually run, what that needs, and which tier it belongs on.
Recommended builds by size
Three sizes of operation, each sized from an assumed traffic figure.
Small
1–10 people · ~5,000 visits a month
VDS
- 2 Cores
- 24 GB RAM
- 150 GB storage
A single site or team, with traffic that arrives in a predictable working-hours pattern.
Medium
11–50 people · ~50,000 visits a month
VDS
- 4 Cores
- 48 GB RAM
- 300 GB storage
A growing business running several systems, where an outage now costs real money.
Large
51+ people · ~500,000 visits a month
Dedicated Server
- 16 Cores
- 196 GB RAM
- 1000 GB storage
Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.
Which tiers suit Automotive Software
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Not this one | Shared hosting cannot run background workers, queues or long-lived processes, which a SaaS application depends on. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | The natural home for an early-stage product: root access, your own runtime, and the ability to resize as you grow. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources give you the predictable latency your customers will hold you to in an SLA. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Recommended | Right once the database and the application tier are competing for the same memory on a single virtual instance. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Workable | For platforms running their own virtualization, or holding a large working set entirely in memory. |
