I have a web app with a huge MySql database around 16gb & increasing in 10 tables and 200m rows
Currently i am on Hostgator pro dedicated server with 32gb RAM.
I am planning on moving to DigitalOcean with 32gb droplet.
My web app continuously crawl data from different apis and insert/update the data in database. It has quite high cpu usage and disk IO.
is it a good idea to move my site to DigitalOcean?
