架构设计与部署指南
Modern web applications benefit most from fast single-thread CPU performance and at least 2 vCPUs to handle concurrent requests and background garbage collection smoothly without latency spikes.
成本优化策略
- ✓Use ARM64 Graviton or Ampere instances for a free 20% cost reduction on equivalent compute.
- ✓Place a reverse proxy like Cloudflare in front of your server to cache static assets and reduce server load.
- ✓Colocate small PostgreSQL/Redis instances on the same server during early stages before splitting into managed databases.
