Meh
I run Wireguard on 64MB VPS
ram is dirt cheap. the real cost is IPv4 and data transfer. 2GB should be the new minimum.
And cpu prices?
depends. do you want an ancient 2680v2 or state of the art 7950X?
Max memory size:
Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2: 768GB
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X: 128GB
Which is a huge plus as a VPS client, since the VPS host node can't be remotely as packed.

in today's popular computing needs and trends vCPU and RAM ratio should be 1:2 or less
I'm developing a database for court documents in Sweden.
The prototype stack I was developing and deploying code to was:
Started with 2G each at Hetzner. Today during BuyVM restock I got 3 1G LU VMs (didn't see a reason not to do www & db as one) and while it certainly feels slower setting stuff up, it won't be noticable once everything is up - but the lesser monthly fees will be.
My application uses SQLite and I don't have many users, so 512MB is enough.
sometimes 512M is enough
1gb RAM is enough to run vpn and 1ip blog. If you need more RAM, you need to pay more.
This is true. I dropped 1GB plans as there was so much abuse and simply people were expecting managed services for ~$2-3/mo. IP Prices have grown drastically and I simply don't find it worth offering 1GB. Providers are also slowly shifting their IP prices to ~$2/IP/mo
I generally just run a VPN.
Get rid of useless IPv4.
NAT by default!
Pay $12/year to add dedicated IPv4.
Get rid of gigabit ports.
100Mbps only!
But I still want 2GB because the push-ups are cached in RAM.
Running uptime kuma with 256MB RAM and that is written in GO! Just compile it somewhere else like your computer or deploy the prebuilt binaries there. I was once running a full fledged website with API + DB + Frontend + Backend on a 1GB Oracle free teir VM and not to mention it was running fine atleast for a month before it started breaking down due to db and api.
