Websites & small APIs
Run your web server and application runtime with full control over the operating system.
Development & staging
Give each environment its own Linux server, configuration, and release schedule.
Light background work
Run scheduled jobs and small services whose CPU usage rises and falls throughout the day.
Size for the way you work.
Start with enough memory for your operating system, application processes, and a margin for traffic spikes. Include logs, uploads, and deployment artifacts when estimating disk space.
