elixir_is_cool
I am looking for a minimal setup for a 1U rack server to host a mobile apps back-end.
Elixir is great because I do code updates without stopping the server.
However, I am inexperienced with the type of server I should run.
Note this is a very early stage startup, so there aren’t any users yet. Likely less than 20 users.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Note: I found a few here

And you can’t just get a cheap vm somewhere?

Very early stage don’t buy servers. Stick it on fly.io or another similar service until you have traction.

You may want to have a look at this thread:
Co-locating (buying your own gear) is great, but comes with additional responsibilities. A good middle ground is renting a dedicated server - that will give you the most bang for your buck without the extra worries.

Agreed, I thought about it for a bit, and it doesn’t make sense right now to do that.
Literally there is only 1 person using it now.
