DDR4 64 2666 Registered $150/month
DDR4 128 2933 Registered $300/month
DDR4 256 3200 Registered $600/month

Use Cases

This configuration is ideally suited for a variety of development and testing scenarios:

  • **Web Application Development:** Provides ample resources for running development servers, databases (e.g., Database Management Systems), and related tools.
  • **Software Testing:** Supports load testing, performance testing, and unit testing of applications. Can be used to simulate real-world user traffic. Load Testing Strategies are crucial here.
  • **Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):** Can host CI/CD pipelines, automating the build, test, and deployment process. Integration with tools like Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD is straightforward.
  • **Data Science and Machine Learning:** The powerful CPU and ample memory make it suitable for data analysis and model training (though dedicated High-Performance GPU Servers are recommended for intensive GPU-based workloads).
  • **Game Development:** Suitable for building and testing game servers, particularly for smaller to medium-sized games. Game Server Hosting considerations apply.
  • **API Development:** Provides a stable and scalable environment for developing and deploying RESTful APIs. Understanding API Design Principles is essential.
  • **Mobile Application Backends:** Can reliably host the backend infrastructure for mobile applications.

Performance

Performance metrics will vary depending on the specific workload. However, the following provides a general indication of expected performance:

  • **Web Server Response Time:** Under moderate load (100 concurrent users), average response time is typically under 200ms.
  • **Database Query Performance:** Complex queries on a moderately sized database (100GB) typically complete within a few seconds.
  • **CPU Utilization:** Average CPU utilization under typical development workloads is between 20% and 60%.
  • **Memory Utilization:** Average memory utilization is between 30% and 70%, depending on the applications running.
  • **Disk I/O:** NVMe SSD provides consistently high read/write speeds (up to 3000 MB/s). See Storage Performance Analysis.
  • **Network Throughput:** 1 Gbps dedicated connection provides ample bandwidth for most development activities.

These metrics are based on benchmark tests and may vary depending on the specific configuration and workload. Regular performance monitoring is recommended. Tools like System Monitoring Tools can be invaluable.
