+- Start investigating other platforms for CGSpace due to linear instance pricing on Linode
+- We need to figure out how much memory is used by applications, caches, etc, and how much disk space the asset store needs
+- First, here's the last week of memory usage on CGSpace and DSpace Test:
+
+
+
+
+- 8GB of RAM seems to be good for DSpace Test for now, with Tomcat's JVM heap taking 3GB, caches and buffers taking 3–4GB, and then ~1GB unused
+- 24GB of RAM is _way_ too much for CGSpace, with Tomcat's JVM heap taking 5.5GB and caches and buffers happily using 14GB or so
+- As far as disk space, the CGSpace assetstore currently uses 51GB and Solr cores use 86GB (mostly in the statistics core)
+- DSpace Test currently doesn't even have enough space to store a full copy of CGSpace, as its Linode instance only has 96GB of disk space
+- I've heard Google Cloud is nice (cheap and performant) but it's definitely more complicated than Linode and instances aren't _that_ much cheaper to make it worth it
+- Here are some theoretical instances on Google Cloud:
+ - DSpace Test, `n1-standard-2 ` with 2 vCPUs, 7.5GB RAM, 300GB persistent SSD: $99/month
+ - CGSpace, `n1-standard-4 ` with 4 vCPUs, 15GB RAM, 300GB persistent SSD: $148/month
+- Looking at [Linode's instance pricing](https://www.linode.com/pricing#all) it seems we could use the same 8GB instance for $40/month, and then add [block storage](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/how-to-use-block-storage-with-your-linode) of ~300GB for $30 (block storage is currently in beta and priced at $0.10/GiB)
