For most small production workloads, 2 GB RAM balances cost and headroom. On our NVMe nodes (Ryzen 5700G, Bucharest) you get fast disk I/O and low latency, with room for the processes that usually push 1 GB to its limits.

What fits comfortably in 2 GB

• WordPress + a handful of plugins and caching
• Small databases (MariaDB/PostgreSQL) with app + Nginx
• APIs with 2–3 workers and a background job
• Docker micro-services (2–4 containers) without constant swapping

Why it feels faster than 1 GB

• Fewer swap spikes → snappier admin areas and deployments
• Room for caches (OPcache/Redis) → lower CPU per request
• NVMe helps on disk, but RAM prevents thrashing in the first place

Upgrade guidance

If you routinely hit >85% RAM or queue jobs are lagging, step up to 4 GB RAM (4 vCPU) or the 4 GB RAM (2 vCPU) option depending on concurrency.
