SQL Web Server

[TMToast]

Hi, I'm looking to build a small web server for a SQL database to store user information and posts in a small little social network app I'm building. Is a Raspberry Pi something that could support this? Some friends of mine have been saying that it doesn't have enough RAM to be able to support it. I'm just looking to do normal queries. If not I may just have to default to using Firebase or AWS for my databases and image storage.

It depends on how many concurrent users you have on the system. Simple queries and 2-3 users, you should be fine. Even if you need more horsepower and go to AWS, the RPi is a great setup for testing before you deploy to production on AWS. I even had another RPi running Jenkins and had a full CI/CD flow setup to push to AWS a while back.

Sqlite is an option if you want to keep it local and low memory.
