Developer ezshine reports his app riding a trending list surged to 236,805 daily active users in a single day — all served by a bargain $36/year KVM VPS with just 2GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 35GB SSD, 5TB monthly transfer and a 1Gbps port, which held up without falling over. A striking data point on how far cheap infra + optimization can stretch for indie hackers.
