HelpKit serves 400+ customers & millions of monthly help center page views on a $10/month server. Most founders burn $1000s on infrastructure with zero users. The lesson? You probably don't need that ultra beefy machine because you're too afraid of the sudden ultra scale moment. This is my frontend SSR server btw. After years of almost perfect performance I just upgraded it from 1GB to 2GB RAM (total now $25/month)
There were some minor memory spikes during peak hours so it made sense to upgrade but yeah... I'm glad I didn't start with a more expensive machine. Render won't even let you downgrade haha! What made you finally upgrade your first server?
