Server infrastructure for DevOps

Sized from the workload rather than sold as a plan name: what DevOps 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


VPS

  • Single Core
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 300 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


VPS

  • 2 Cores
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 800 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

  • 12 Cores
  • 96 GB RAM
  • 4000 GB storage

Multiple sites or a busy platform, with traffic that spikes and an obligation to stay up.

Which tiers suit DevOps

InfrastructureVerdictWhy
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.

DevOps workloads you can host

Observability is the quiet capacity problem here: logs and metrics grow whether or not the product does.

  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Container orchestration
  • Log aggregation
  • Metrics & alerting
  • Secrets management

DevOps hosting — FAQs

What server specification do DevOps usually need?
It depends on volume more than on the industry. A medium-sized operation working from about 50,000 visits a month lands around 2 cores, 16 GB of memory and 800 GB of storage.
How were these figures worked out?
From an assumed traffic level, the number of requests each page makes, and how much data the application keeps warm — then rounded up to a build we actually sell. They are assumptions stated out loud rather than measurements of your business.
Can we change size later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address.
