Hello, I am currently running a forum with approximately:

• 800,000 topics

• Around 12,000 daily active users

• Hosted on a dedicated server with 64GB RAM

I am considering migrating to Discourse and would like to understand:

1. At this scale, would Discourse require any special customization or architectural adjustments?

2. Is a single 64GB dedicated server generally sufficient?

Any advice or experience from similar migrations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you！
