Rust code is likely to be very much more efficient, reducing the server requirements.

I wouldn’t expect this site to have particularly high requirements, but hey ho.

(Example: NewsBlur was at a certain point using about 50 servers, for a specified load that by careful calculation I am confident would fit on one server (though not with much headroom) if it were written sensibly in Rust, rather than however it is in Python/Django.)
