Hi, i'm trying to install a reddit clone instance on this great hosting platform, www.webfaction.com, but before, and because i have only 256 max memory with my account, i want to send you this message to get your experience/feedback on memory consumption for a reddit clone.
Do you have an idea of memory consumption of a reddit clone (with cassandra, rabbit, memcached,etc) empty ? And with 10 to 100 users real-time ?
The single biggest consumer of memory is probably Cassandra which really wants 512mb+ on its own. You can get it down to 256 or so if you really know what you're doing (if "memtable" doesn't mean anything to you, that's not you)

And there is no possible solution without cassandra with the last architecture update ? So Unscale to a tiny use case is really not possible ? Do you have an idea of another software like reddit, open source, but with less consumption of memory ?

It's not really the "last" architecture update, but no, it's definitely required.

Probably not, no.

pligg? It was also fashionable to "write reddit 200 lines of basic!" and "write reddit in 150 lines of C++!" a few years ago on /r/programming, which I think shows that if you don't have to scale it, reddit's fundamental operations (post link, vote on link, post comment, get comments for link #X, etc) are pretty simple. You could track down any number of those types of posts, or write your own over a weekend.
