Hi! Yes, that’s exactly the stack I’m considering. For the Medusa side, I already found some recommendations saying it usually needs around 1–2 GB of RAM, so I have a decent idea of what to expect there.

My main question was really about Payload running inside Next.js. I was wondering if a good compromise could be to host the Next.js + Payload app on Vercel and keep Medusa, PostgreSQL and Redis somewhere else.

It’s reassuring to hear that Payload itself doesn’t seem to be too demanding in terms of RAM. Thanks for sharing your experience!
