Either way that VPS will cost 10-20$ depending on CPU form a good provider. You can’t get that cheap with a bunch of AWS services for that number of requests.
Also, if they were using an hyped tech stack (nodejs or wtv) they wouldn’t be able to handle the request spikes like they do. 0.46 requests per second means nothing because I’m sure they’ve hours of full inactivity and others serving 10 requests / second that would totally obliterate 2GB of ram if done on nodejs and a Mysql DB.
$10-20 is what that VPS costs at a cloud provider. You could also dockerize and use a container service like GCP Cloud Run combined with cloud storage within that budget.
I’m not a big node guy, but I also kind of doubt nodejs would fail to handle 10RPS on 2gb of memory. I guess it all depends on what the requests are doing.
I’ve been using netcup for a decade. They’re very reliable and high quality. (Management/Admin interface, functionality, help wiki. Never had reliability issues.)
I’ve used other providers before. I’m very satisfied with netcup.

You going for ultra cheap most likely that that reliable, I was pointing at companies like Digital Ocean.

Indeed. They say they’ve been repeatedly featured on the front page of HN and the site didn’t fall over, I’ve seen many examples that did.
