Next.js / SSR Node

Node SSR app with a heavy build.

Node SSR runs well on dedicated CPU — shared vCPU has annoying cold starts. 2-4 vCPU + 4-8 GB RAM. If it's purely static, free Cloudflare Pages is enough.

RAM ≥ 4 GB CPU ≥ 2 cores Storage ≥ 40 GB Docker

Operational tips

If ISR/SSG → Cloudflare Pages (free builds + bandwidth)
For SSR with DB latency → keep DB and app in the same region
PM2 + cluster N=vCPU to use every core
