Exploring the $15 options for a moderately small community (up to 5k people, 500 new messages per day, 500k visits per month), the 2 vCPUs with 2GB RAM option looks better than the others two taking into account the specifics of the Discourse application?

I.e., a) 1GB is too little of memory; b) 3GB RAM vs 2GB RAM won’t make too much of a difference; you’ll have a ~2GB swap; and c) 2 vCPUs is definitely better than 1 vCPUs taking into account multitasking built into Discourse.

Do my arguments look right?
