I’m in the midst of an pretty interesting conversation about content on my discourse site that may change traffic significantly. I’m presently on a 1GB RAM, 1vCPU, 40GB SSD instance. Its very small community today- let’s say 30 active members. Adding this particular content may grow the site to 3…

Sure. Just scale your VM and then run ./discourse-setup to have it adjust the parameters for the memory usage. You can scale to whatever you want. Whether you scale to 2 or 4GB for more is up to you, but I’d guess that 4GB will be enough.

You probably need about 4-8gb for a larger community, and a lot more SSD storage, probably a few terabytes.

Wow, that was fast. Thank you both!

My response was just a rough estimate. The more the better really.

4GB will be ample. Your storage needs won’t explode unless you expect to be upload-heavy. In which case don’t scale up the directly-attached storage beyond what the 4GB offers as standard ($$$) instead look at implementing S3 or one of the S3-like clones which are out there.

Probablemente necesites entre 4 y 8 GB para una comunidad más grande, y mucho más almacenamiento SSD, probablemente varios terabytes.
