Hi, I’m migrating a forum to Discourse. Unfortunately, the current vBulletin forum is broken and I don’t have access to the forum monthly stats. This is what I know and I could estimate (based on several homepage snapshots from archive.org :sweat_smile:): 180000 users (including a lot of spam a…

I’d probably start with CPX51 because the numbers look like a lot of activity but you could probably get away with CPX41 if the traffic volume isn’t expected to grow much. Ideally, I’d want to leverage S3 and CDN to offset some load.

[immagine] itsbhanusharma: CDN to offset some load. CDN is essential to reduce load. S3 isn’t as essential unless you feel you are going to have a community of compulsive giant-image-uploaders :wink:

Hi, thanks for your replies. I know nothing about CDN, so I’m going to learn what it is exactly, how it works and how it would impact Discourse’s performances.

With my experience you can start without any issue with a CPX11 my only worry is the Disk Space as you will fill it pretty quickly. Like OOO you’ll have a 65-70% disk usage, so just to avoid soon off line time for upgrade I’d go with CPX21 but not because you need the Horse Power in the server. Oth…

I Prefer S3 (at least for Backup storage) Just for the added peace of mind that one copy of backup is offsite.

I intend to use 3S to backup my website in addition to local backups, but not for uploads as I don’t think it would be really useful, but I need to think about that more and search for more information. Hetzner servers are scalables and I can upscale/downscale in seconds (can’t decrease disk size t…

Just so you have a little more information as comparison and the reason of why I estimate that CPX11 would be enough if it has just a little bit more of Disk Space. My community receives (daily): Registered users visits: 500-750 Anonymous users visits: 2300-3000 Topics: 2 Posts: 10-30 I’m runnin…

Il CDN è essenziale per ridurre il carico. S3 non è altrettanto essenziale, a meno che tu non pensi di avere una comunità di compulsivi uploader di immagini giganti
