Are you running it on AWS, or do you use a self-hosted solution? And how powerful should it be?

I mean, half of the nostr is using your relay, I guess 😂

Lol, there are some other relays with more traffic than I have but there's definitely a lot of traffic to my relay though!

I don't have a good enough self-hosted solution yet so hosting on a Hetzner VM atm.

I ran mine on a 5 USD/month until Jack showed up. Now it's running on a VM with 8 Intel vCPUs and 32 GB RAM. It works but IMO it's still way too slow.

I see, and yes, Jack made a fuss, hehe.

Thanks for the info, tho. I want to run the relay as a backup solution.

And, of course, a 'paid relay' is the way.
