I'm looking for average number for 1GB/2GB/4GB memory cloud(vps) machine can handle? Please share if you have any experiences.

I can currently handle 500 concurrent users without sacrificing response times for a static site with 1CPU/1GB Memory VPS machine, but I don't know how much users the same machine can handle in load balancing mode.

  • Does this answer your question? [Can you help me with my capacity planning?](https://serverfault.com/questions/384686/can-you-help-me-with-my-capacity-planning) – vidarlo Mar 04 '23 at 14:46
  • No, I'm not asking a general question of how much user a server can handle for my application as it depends on application. I'm asking opinion on how much a load balancer can handle to other app servers. As load balancer's only task is routing traffic to other servers, there should be rounded numbers for a server to handle. Someone with experience may give some data. – doraemon Mar 04 '23 at 15:27
  • The answer is still that we don't know. It depends a lot on your application. – vidarlo Mar 04 '23 at 15:32
  • How it is related to the application? I'm not asking whether my app servers/ nodes behind load balancer can handle, I'm asking capacity of load balancer machine itself, which point it will die as a load balancer. – doraemon Mar 04 '23 at 15:57
  • Of course it depends on your application! A user doing video conferencing will have a radically different bandwidth use than a user reading scholarly articles! – vidarlo Mar 04 '23 at 16:01
  • I mean that lets have 10 app servers, which servers static files, so think about app servers has unlimited resources. And there is one load balancer in front of them. If load balancer is 1CPU/1GB or 1CPU/2GB etc, how much concurrent user it can handle, no video or game hosting. – doraemon Mar 04 '23 at 16:13
