Recommended server specs?

Hello! I am planning to use Quirrel but wanted to know how much system resources it uses for low/medium usage, and what the recommended system resources are.

Hi @cursecodes! I have not performed any experiments around what system resource configs work best, but especially for low/medium usage you won't need much. The hosted version of Quirrel I was running ran on Heroku's Premium-0 Redis and Standard-1X Dynos, which were the smallest available sizes.

Was it a new Standard-1X for each user, or a handful for the entire service?

For roughly 20000 events/mo, would a single Basic Heroku dyno be able to keep up? What would be the limit for a single Basic Heroku dyno in your opinion for events/mo?

It was one Standard-1x for the entire service.

Woah! Those must've been pretty good margins then.

I've edited my post above, please take a look.

As I've said, I haven't performed any testing as to what the limit would be. 20k per month should definitely work, assuming it's somewhat even-spread. (20k per month is one every two minutes!)

A better question would be how many events/mo were you managing with the one Standard-1X? I'm very curious.
