How to choose the hardware configuration for a site with a traffic of 1 million per month? (let's say 30k per day)?

Question

Iron

The customer asked to pick up hardware for a site on 1c-bitrix with a traffic of about 1 million per month, alas, there are no more specifics. Can you tell me at least about what to take?

Answer 1

You need to choose based on the number of RPS, and not your strange numbers that have nothing to do with the load.
Well, you need to look at the code, but if you didn’t go into Bitrix much, but ssd will work smartly.
And so for a million people a month who visit the site once a month, with an even load (well, a la 1.5k clients per hour, requests for 3 per session), without taking into account the crowns, a digitalocean virtual machine for $10 is enough.

Answer 2

if it weren’t for Bitrix))))
then 16 GB of memory is enough, competent caching, etc., in your case, just a joke:

1930 Rabinovich comes to the rebbe.
- Rebbe! They force me to join the collective farm, but I don't know: to join or not to join?
At this moment, the bride runs in, pushes Rabinovich away, turns to the rabbi:
- Hurry! I'm straight from the wedding! Today is the first wedding night! Rebbe, tell me, should I go to bed in a shirt or without a shirt?
- In a shirt or without a shirt, they will fuck you anyway ... And this also applies to you, Rabinovich.

Answer 3

You need to look at your site, what it contains, the quality of development. Well, then you select the iron quietly testing the load and survival.

Answer 4

I support Sergey , a business card site is one thing, a portal with complex logic is another.
An online store with an average traffic of 900 per day now lives well on 4gb of memory and 4 cores of 2ghz each, the download rarely exceeds 50%.
If you are preparing for a heavy load, you should understand that you need to prepare for horizontal growth.
