I can share with you that my solar-powered Pi3B+ hosting yourdatafitsinram is holding up quite well, being linked to on HN - a funny contrast to the kind of systems it links to in the table.

Even a 10+ year old DL380G8 - can hold 1.5TB+ RAM and 24/48 cores and that hardware is dirt cheap on the second hand market.

If all a server does is serve mostly static content from memory then it's not expected to handle a demanding workload beyond networking.

Therefore I fail to see the point of trying to downplay someone else's needs for TB of RAM just because you serve a site on a raspberry pi, as if that's the full extent of what anyone needs to do with a computer, particularly when the OP mentions big data.

You totally misinterpreted the point of my text.
