> Could not even run npm ci with the resources available. I kept having to resize the VM. First up to the $6 then I was running into different stuff. I ended up going up to the $24 / mo option just to get the image building.

This makes very little sense to me. I’ve been using $4 droplets to host a variety of projects (much of the time on the same server) and have rarely hit such issues.

How inefficient is the code for it to need the $24 droplet?

You probably shouldn’t be building the image on the droplet though, maybe build locally, release to docker registry, and only pull the image from the server.

That's what I'm going to move to. It's part of the learning process for me. I want to set the image to build when I push to my repository.

I also think moving from npm to pnpm and leveraging caching will help. But the dockerfile itself is very very simple.
