About buying vds?

Question

Service Oriented Architecture

Hi guys.

We are going to start the project. A total of 5 sites that are not interconnected with each other.
Each project will work on a microservice architecture. So far, each individual project is not very large. At most, we will immediately move the database to a separate server.

The question is. The best way is to buy five separate servers. And every project will spin there.
Or buy one server with such configurations for now.


Push everything into docker containers and it will all work on one machine.
Projects on django + mysql. Because the project is completely new and we expect a maximum of thousands of users for each project. Even RPS will not be more than a thousand.

Answer 1

Raise projects on the minimum required VDS configuration, conduct load testing with the expected volume of users, and make decisions based on the results: increase server resources or split into several servers, at the same time profile and optimize your code.
