I checked different hosting solutions, and the best server is
– 192 cores / 384 threads
– 1.5TB Ram
– 4x10TB PCI4 NVME Storage in Raid-0
This is literally a behemoth. Just rent it. Put all your DB, workers, servers, mailers, on this server.
While that is stupid, feel free to use it as a CI tool as well! Running 384 docker containers in parallel to check all your puppeteer/playwright tests
Bonus point, although grey area – run a monero or similar miner in a low priority to cashback 10% of the server cost.
Now serious question – why would you need microservices, cloud, kubernetes, lambdas and other fun things at all if you can get it working as a monolith just for $2K (ok, let it be $5K with extras) ???
