I want to host a website, which will be having 5000+ mysql connections at a time, with a similar no of users. But what should be the perfect plan on DO (memory + cpu cores) to handle this kind of traffic. I don’t know how to look for the resources being used and how to increase the simultaneous connection on mysql and apache.
Any pointers how to start with the above configuratios would be helpful.
Thanks.

Thanks @kamal . Just 1 more question … Can I start with 512 mb one core, and then gradually increase it two 2 core. Is it possible, if yes would there be some problem while scaling?
Are you going to have 5,000+ connections/users right away or are you going to gradually build up to that? I’d start with at least 2 CPU cores + 4GB of RAM – given that you can scale (up) rather easily.
