Dude, the $2k solution is not only worse than postiz they charge an additional thousand for each channel.
It's just garbage software, I brought it up as an example IDK why. Commentators here like knowing snippets about other industries in the profession, I know I do at least.
But to answer your Q, yes I do expect a cron job schedule, analytics, and a CRM not to require 8 gig of ram in order to not barf on itself too hard.
These things are incredibly resource intensive for their actual jobs. The software is incredibly wasteful.
A $5/vps should be enough to host every suite of software a small business needs. To think otherwise is extremely out of touch. We're talking about 3 concurrent users max here, software should not be buckling under such a light load.
The expectation is that these aren't complicated tools, they should not command that many resources. Why do you think a $5/vps with half a gig of ram can't handle basic CRON/background jobs or management software? 512 mb of ram can do so much if you choose the appropriate tools but if you start with a weak foundation that requires 512 mb of ram to just stay idle it hurts a class of users that could benefit from this software.
These things aren't complicated, but when you choose NodeJS/Javascript they become way more complicated than expected. I say this as someone who has ever worked professionally with JS and nothing else for a 15 year long career.
Writing software that can only be used by the affluent is not the direction I want our industry to go in.
