Hello,
It really depends on your application. But what you could do is start small and then upgrade in case you notice that the resources are not enough.
Also what I would strongly suggest is stress testing your application and see how it performs under specific number of connections. You could use a tool like Apache Benchmark or Siege and see how your application performs.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
