Whoa, my GoToSocial instance has terrible search and hosts almost nothing and yet the DB is 10 GiB or more and I would love to just delete everything that’s older than a year from it … but this, from a screenshot:

“We run a full AppView + PDS + Relay for ~$1,772/mo. PDS is cheap (~$0.03/user/mo,
4 VCPUs, 32GB RAM). AppView is the expensive part; indexes the entire network (16TB DB), not just your users. Storage scales linearly with network activity. PDS scales linearly with your account count.” – Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team

Ouch. 😭 This really is very different tech.

Dax Pryce @dax.pryce.io •31m Do you have any numbers you can share around the cost per user to run an App View and/or PDS? And if I wanted to fully self host on your stack, what is the baseline cpu/ memory/disk specs I should expect to deal with. Does data storage & network transfer scale linearly or is it logarithmic or ???
