This is just an FYI to help anybody else in the future.

How big is your forum? How many posts? How big is the database?

Also, how big was the swapfile you created?

I was thinking to ask same question but found your feedback about t2 micro instance. I will go with t2 small for now. :slight_smile: thanks! One question, How much SSD I should use with t2 small. My forum will have around 500 visitors/day.

I would recommend a minimum of 30GB and would push for 50gb.

@pfaffman , Ok thank you. I will go with 30GB initially and if required will upgrade to 50GB. I hope that should be enough for now.

FYI：AWS t2.micro 实例太小，至少使用 t2.small
