19:33:36 GMT <netcrime> Hey guys. Is there a minimum requirement of RAM ? Or in other words can I use 512 ram DO droplet for small program?
19:33:49 GMT <netcrime> that's for Redis.
19:44:13 GMT <Sweepyoface> netcrime, from the FAQ: An empty instance uses ~ 3MB of memory.
19:44:24 GMT <Sweepyoface> 512mb is plenty
19:44:40 GMT <Sweepyoface> >> 1 Million Keys -> Hash value, representing an object with 5 fields, use ~ 160 MB of memory.
19:45:42 GMT <Sweepyoface> but remember that you're missing the point if you have your redis instance on a separate machine than the stuff you're interfacing with it
19:49:10 GMT <netcrime> Sweepyoface: Thanks. I will run Redis on same machince were my other code is
19:49:27 GMT <Sweepyoface> :)
19:51:00 GMT <netcrime> Sweepyface: Do you think Redis has advantage compared with storing variable in database? My situation is that I run Scraper which scrapes Live game data including score. I need to use Scraped score in next scrape (After 3 seconds)
19:51:30 GMT <Sweepyoface> Well, yes; it's much faster
19:51:31 GMT <netcrime> So I had to choose: store to database or use redis and store in memory
19:51:35 GMT <Sweepyoface> due to it being in memory
19:51:47 GMT <Sweepyoface> for that case redis would be the best option, yes
19:52:06 GMT <netcrime> Great thanks
