I would like to inquire about the details of purchasing a server. Currently, I have a project that involves running four Telegram bots, and the system will also store data in a database. I’d like to ask which features I need to include and what level of server specifications would be suitable for this setup.

Hi there,
If you’re just running a few Telegram bots and a small database, a basic Droplet on DigitalOcean (like 1–2 vCPUs with 1–2 GB RAM) should be more than enough to get started. You can always scale up later if needed. Just make sure to choose a region close to your users for better latency and enable backups if the data matters.

You could also add a managed database as well if you don’t want to manage it yourself:

Heya, @oaksmartsea
For running 4 Telegram bots and a database, start with a DigitalOcean Droplet like 1–2 vCPU, 1–2 GB RAM and 25–50 GB SSD
That setup is good for most small to medium projects. Use PostgreSQL or MySQL for your database. Turn on backups and the firewall. You can upgrade later if you need more power.
