What VPS do you need for Ethereum geth --light node?

Question

P2P

The Node.js server works with geth using JSON-RPC. You need to figure out what VPS should be in order to run geth --light . Can geth --light have problems sending payments? Will I only get information about the latest blocks (eth_getBlockByNumber) or about all?
I guess 1 GB of RAM (geth + Ubuntu) will not be enough. bitcoind crashed on such a server due to lack of memory. I also assume that in --light the database should not exceed 10 GB. Therefore, I think that 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of SSD should be enough ( rootwelt vMACHINA 2048 ). Whether there will be enough processor time is a separate question.
PS I tested the API on testnet, but for a working network, as far as I know, an order of magnitude more disk space is required (if we talk about a full node) and there are many times more transactions
