Very much depends on the code you are running. If you're running something like React server-side rendering it may not be enough resources - in which case you'll probably want an instance that costs $10-$50/month instead.

Most server-side frameworks I've worked with will perform just fine in 256MB of RAM though. These days I'd expect people to get the best results from Go or Rust, if they want to be able to run on as little RAM or CPU as possible.

I'll keep on sticking with Python!
