What resources are needed to create a web server (home computer) for 1000 users?

Question

Django

So, I’m actually studying django and in order to feel everything in practice, I began to write my site. The essence of the site is preparation for testing, in fact, there are 50 topics, in each topic there are 400-600 questions, the user came in and chose a topic, and he is randomly given questions, he answers them by choosing from the answer options, in general, it’s understandable, nothing intricate. Since such a heat has gone, I thought, why wouldn’t I learn to administer the server along the way, at first I thought to assemble another computer, then I still leaned towards deploying a virtual machine on 10-ke through Hyper-V and there will be a website on centose spinning, and maybe not on it (not yet deepened), you just want to use the computer yourself and so that the site spins there. And here's the question itself, now there is such hardware (my computer on which I want to deploy everything), i3-4330 (3.5GHz), 8 RAM, and WD Black (7200,

Answer 1

I personally think that it makes no sense to take a steam bath with the server at home. Now you can get VPS for 200-300 rubles/month.

Answer 2

Well, for starters, you won’t have such a load right away (1000 users who are being tested at the same time).
Therefore, first make a project, run it on a virtual machine, on your computer, give it to users. And then it will be seen further - how many requests per second you receive, how the project was written (how quickly it processes user requests).
Further it is possible to optimize - the program code, databases, the new server. I can say that I have a project in which 10,000 (600-800 requests per second per backend) users work simultaneously and it all works on one virtual machine with 2 GB of RAM on CentOS.

Answer 3

The easiest VPS for 150 rubles here or for $5 here .
Server at home - unless you have a Raspberry Pi, otherwise spare your PC and electricity. In terms of power, even a Raspberry Pi is enough.
