Hi-I’m using the smallest droplet right now and love it.
What size droplet would people recommend for a basic introductory stats class for 100 students using Rstudio? No single data set would be larger then say 5000 rows by 20 variables.
Thanks

From what I’m reading, the requirements are fairly minimal, though different sources give varied data on what one would need.
I’d recommend starting with a 1GB Droplet and scaling from there. Upgrading is always an option, so start semi-small and work your way up. You can monitor resource usage using

which will give you and overview of CPU & RAM usage as well as what the most resource-intensive processes are.
