How many users can a 512mb droplet handle?

Posted on December 5, 2013

Hey,

I am building a web app where quite a few images will be processed. My question is, how many people can a 512mb droplet handle?

Thanks

It depends on many factors such as your app’s language, what webserver you are running, what database you are using, etc. <br> <br>I recommend starting out with a 512MB droplet and see how it performs – you can always upgrade your droplet whenever you need to. :]
