Configure this build →These figures are assumptions stated out loud, not predictions about your business. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
Why DevOps size up this way
Working from about 5,000 visits a month and roughly 40,000 requests a day, storage grows by roughly 21 GB a month at this size, which usually decides the build before CPU does.
- 1.9 req/sec at peak
- 4.2 GB working set
- 21 GB/month growth

Which tiers suit DevOps
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| 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. |
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
