Hi Ben Many thanks for these tips. The reason why I have not shown code is that the code was adapted from production stuff and is therefore not one neat file. I intend rewriting the code to make it neater.
That being said, surely the instance size does not matter. I know Node likes power, but using that reasoning, so does Python (it must also suffer from the same garbage collector constraints). That being said, I will be ramping my box and report back.
