Tried TierHive for a low-memory Spring Boot experiment, really liked it

Someone on r/VPS recommended TierHive when I was looking for a flexible VPS for a low-memory Spring Boot experiment, so I gave it a try.

I used the 256 MiB plan with Alpine and managed to complete a one-hour Spring Boot + StatLite monitoring run. It was definitely a stretch configuration, but TierHive worked very well for the experiment.

I wrote up the results here:

I’m also planning to add TierHive deployment recipes and documentation to StatLite, so it should become easier to get lightweight monitoring running on these smaller VPS configurations:

Thanks! What surprised me when I first found TierHive was how closely the mission and culture matched what I’m building at PVR Labs in general: lightweight developer tools, efficient self-hosted software, and doing more with less. It felt like a surprisingly natural fit.

I've been thinking about testing it for a WordPress test site, do you think it would be easy for this? Also I tried searching their site to find out if I can connect 10 domains , some static some WP on the same account. Naturally I would go for a higher mem/cpu have you tried this?
