I've been running a production workload for a cost sensitive customer on a small cheap Vultr VPS for 10 years.

Updates have zero downtime and there's lots of compute headroom so it never locks up.

No, there's no redundancy and it is only performant in a single region - but that's okay with the customer as it's just a custom CRM.

Not every use case requires Kubernetes, multiple nodes, dedicated database infra and auto-scaling.
