What specs do I need for mobile apps?
Hello,
I'm developing an hybrid app that relies on fetching data from my server.
This app is targeted towards my college's students so it could only have a maximum of 35k users (theoretically).
At the beginning I predict that only 2k people will use it.
That of course doesn't mean that I will have 2k concurrent users at a time but when a notification is sent to all users many of them could open the app at the same time or close to each other sequentially. For the rest is mainly cachable data and light MySQL requests.
Do you think the scaleway 2GB ARM server would be enough?
The server side will be nginx+phpfpm+mysql.

Em, NGINX + ARM don't exactly mix -- or at least yet, I think.
Only the commercial NGINX version has ARM support.
Uh...I didn't know that. Well that was just an example. I'm looking for specs in general not providers. Just to get any idea.
Dude wtf, I installed Nginx 1.8 on Scaleway's ARM today.
@sandro : The only way to know is to deploy your API and do a stress test to it.
@deadbeef, 'I think'.
I was pretty sure NGINX didn't work with package installers though (apt without extra repos).
@FlamesRunner 1.6 was available on Trusty and I got 1.8 from an unofficial repo.
@sandro, sorry for misleading you, then.
No worries!
nginx 1.2 works on raspbian.
php fpm mysql wordpress rpi2

Should all work on scaleway, you can setup mysq/php-fpm/nginx on seperate instances to scale.
They have a private LAN?
Yes and as far as i know you can save 1 euro per machine if you don't need a public ip.
That's great!
Won't LSSD + internet + local servers fill up the network bandwidth?
