There is a sentiment that Prisma is a hog and slow by Theo the YouTuber guy and others. But they are talking about some lambda functions, something with Lisp? Anyway, I would like to use Prisma on a standard VPS by Hetzner ARM server with 4GB RAM and Ubuntu, will it be enough or Prisma needs more RAM? In other words, does the criticism of Prisma hold on even when using your own VPS server that runs nonstop?
#When using Prisma on Hetzner with MySQL, does the criticism by lambda people hold?

TL;DR - you’ll be fine and the vast majority of folks can run in very small containers and/or lightweight environments
Not TL;DR - there’s a trend in social media right to remove any nuance. This technology uses more resources than another, so it’s bad. That technology can’t run in this environment, so it’s bad.
It is true: Prisma uses more resources than other options. IMHO, Prisma also offers a lot which requires those resources. It’s also true that Prisma has trouble running in newer environments (CF Workers, Vercel Edge). We’re aware of those shortcomings and are actively addressing them.
Prisma is used by a large number of teams in a wide range of deployments. From AWS Lambda to monoliths with docker containers. I think you will find Prisma performance perfectly fine. If you don’t, we’re here to help.

Thanks, I will probably go with Prisma and SvelteKit. Watching this tutorial right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9J2VXd-bzE
