How Many HTTP Requests can a $6 VPS Handle?

[@Mr.BinarySniper]

Honestly, I am also running a server + frontend + DB (mongodb ) on same server 2Core 4gb ram. 80gb storage. which is 7 per month. my app never crossed 80% of my CPU usage. from then I am recommending to use VPS server which doesn't give you crazy email of 100k bill.

[@marctre9004]

Which service are u using please???

[@ridabrahim7604]

number of requests you was able to handle ? which service you're using ?

[@muhammadtouhid998]

Aws will cost 40 I guess for same config

[@wanarchives]

the bandwith is too small

[@Dipj01]

What's your provider? Digital ocean?

[@wlan2]

No offence but your test doesn't have any relevance, you only loaded the home page. Does it even fetch data form a DB or it only shows static data? And I don't think the guy with a single VPS is good example either. Does it have the DB and backend on the same VPS? Is his setup fault tolerant, redundant? How does he monitor the server? Does he manage the logs?

[@oussaber]

Yeah, I agree with you on the homepage test not being relevant, but does redundancy and logs really matter? As long as you have happy clients and a good product it doesn't matter.

[@qhkmdev]

@@oussaber if you have SLA uptime requirement of like 99% or something you'll probably need it, and logs gonna matter when the time comes (security issue etc)

[@gildas_dev]

To add some Db using vercel will be x2 slower I guess

[@helloworld7796]

I agree with the most you say. But the guy with the single VPS is actually pretty good. He does host everything on a single VPS, true it's not the best practice but it works. People generally think that you need ton of power, with clusters and everything, but you don't. The only downside is the DB and storage on the same server, other than that it's pretty fine. Also most of the VPS providers offer you some kind of monitor, so it's fine. And you should check him out. If he manage to run all those services with ton of traffic, most of us should be fine with smaller services

[@perli216]

​@@qhkmdevIf you have those requirements you're not gonna use a $6 VPS

[@mattd5419]

OVH has a cheaper and also more powerful VPS available. Crazy no-one ever talk about OVH.

[@daliovic24]

Their customer support is as bad as it can get. Their dashboard isn't that user friendly and it's not a great experience overall

[@mattd5419]

@@daliovic24 I never got any issues with customer support, and you don't really need to use the dashboard when using a VPS anyway

[@humblepeanut]

@@daliovic24 True, their dashboard suck, confusing and really slow

[@AkshayParkad]

it takes 2 minutes to load their website, but i've never faced issues with the VPS

[@viruxer]

Their UI/UX is just horrible.

[@hayder775]

Does your request will do some processing in the backend? Cuz the benchmark it's depend on what kind of process is doing.

[@krispibiskit]

Awesome video. Thanks a lot to share your experience and knowledge.

[@xMinasi]

I wonder, how can you actually stress test real app on prod without being considered as dos attacker and getting blocked by server company?

[@oSpam]

With AWS you can, just contact them first, they have a dedicated load testing contact. You can get your IPs whitelisted. They just need to know how many requests and how long for :)

[@semsomify]

Thanks a lot man! Great video. I've always wondered that but never had a chance to make this test. I really look forward to more complex examples (such as ones with databases, etc.)

[@gamingwolf3385]

I am the first comment too in last video , what a record , so interesting , can you do another video with 20$ vps ? I am interesting in this price no more 😂 And can you explain how to start getting more valuable jobs ? Thank you my freind

[@CoderOne]

@@gamingwolf3385 thanks!! I loved the experiment, So I think I’ll explore doing of these self hosting and VPS videos

[@nahuelfernandez2352]

It would be awesome to see more videos exploring different tiers of vps

[@zakimimit]

Thank you Islem for your video. Can you do a benchmark video on Render, Railway, Digitalocean and Hostinger so we know which is the better choice, especially when using Docker ? (I am using Django with celery + React ,any advice + which one is better for my situation) My best regards

[@RyleeFerguson-vx7ti]

1 million and 29

[@rtorcato]

Vercel must have some server that sits in between the requests for analytics, ddos protection etc. So not really a fair test.

[@EdwinMartin]

I’m very curious whether the response time will become (much) lower with 2GB or 4 GB

[@LoneRanger.801]

What about the DB? Any suggestions?

[@craeckor2643]

Why are these VPSs so much expensive. For 6 Dollars i get like 4 VCPUs, 8 GB of RAM and 256GB SSD storage.

[@logicweaver7152]

What provider are you using?

[@craeckor2643]

Netcup

[@vorlabongsithilath3358]

Could i ask if 6$/m enough to run nextjs app and mysql database or not?

[@aaronpage8878]

Yes but depends on the amount of traffic it will receive

[@vorlabongsithilath3358]

@@aaronpage8878 Thanks

[@rjtdas]

Great overview, but I found it a bit basic. Could you create a video on building a scalable video transcoder using FFmpeg? It would be great to see best practices for handling high loads, ensuring efficiency, and managing concurrent processing. Thanks!

[@ChrissyCode]

German hosts, with KVM you can get with 5€ like 2 cores 8gb ram lol

[@hmariam9235]

Just checked it. Am i wrong or the bandwidth is really unlimited?

I don't believe levels can run all those businesses on the hardware claimed. mad props to him but the business risk to one or all of his sites, if something gets f-ed up are way too great. It sounds like ancient dev lore at this point.

[@qhkmdev]

he's not running something critical like peopel would get killed if the server is down, so probably it's legit

[@webdancer]

Surely he'll backup his stuff, so no real danger.

[@oSpam]

@@qhkmdevand the people that have data/paid plans on his stuff? Just “ok” to not serve them anymore.

[@henrygreaves4962]

My understanding is a lot of the heavy lifting (i.e his AI projects) is done through other services and he uses their apis.

[@noriller]

maybe you would need to "warm up" the vercel instance first, because by then the test could already be over or giving that huge delay. also noticed that the vercel one seems to have taken less time... as if it's accepting more, but then some bottleneck makes all slow down there are other tools that give more insights, like gatling, there you can start "slow", then "ramp up" and it shows better graphs of when it starts to break down, then if you add some observability tool...

[@Cygx]

I think digital ocean uses aws in the backend

[@jitxhere]

They manage their own infra
