The actual site binary ends up using about 256 MB of ram worst case, the main problem is that in order to get more cores on Hetzner, you need to pay for more ram. I run some virtual machines on that dedi but they don't really add up to much in the RAM/active CPU cores department.

I go into much more detail about this on my blog here:

And pretty much in any post labeled "Site Update". My site is kind of hilariously complicated because it has to be. :(
