What kind of ram and storage is needed for running a relay?
Nice write up! Just to add my 2 sats here, I’ve got this guide covering my take on the best relay setup: https://lnshort.it/nostr-relays

They are super lightweight. Afaik a simple digital ocean droplet will be enough. Obviously, if it gets super popular, you’ll need to pay the cloud server provider according to the traffic volumes. Popular relays like damus cost triple digits to run.
Interesting, thanks. I have some spare bare metal server space in a rack running bitcoin node and some other dev VMs, was thinking about adding a nostr relay.
Definitely doable and not resource hungry. This should help: https://andreneves.xyz/p/set-up-a-nostr-relay-server-in-under
