Sorry! Forgot who I talked to about it. 2x 8c/16gb for nostr.wine (currently overkill), 1x 24c/48t/128gb for the filter+aggregator.
Will likely need another big machine to support the aggregator eventually.

Are you think to peel off the database to separate server so you can dynamically spin up workers for processing notes?
I think long term something distributed is going to be key. We haven’t decided yet exactly how we’ll do that.
Katie and I have some oddly extensive bare metal Kubernetes experience for another application we run so we may eventually go in that direction. We could make everything a micro service and then scale them up/down as needed.
We want to start simple though.
