There are ways to make it work on a budget, but with Nominatim you do need 64GB of physical memory at a minimum for the planet. Some of the other replies in this thread have offered resources on how to find that for cheap. My go-to for this is hetzner but I'm super curious if there's anything west of the atlantic that compares because the latency going to Finland is brutal, even with mosh instead of ssh.

Good luck! Don't use Airmail in prod (yet?), if that thought crossed your mind. It's just a demo for now and that's probably how it should stay for a while longer :)
