I have a t2.micro that runs several things:

- Mumble server for my wife's WoW guild (They don't use Discord because some of their peeps are running on really dated hardware that can barely handle WoW, let alone an Electron app running concurrently with WoW)

- Taiga.io task tracker

- Dev server for a web game I'm working on (If I ever decide the game is good enough to publish, obviously I'd run dev and prod servers on separate instances)

- IRC bouncer

- Pi-hole DNS for my phone

Containers? Don't need 'em. And each process requires next to no CPU time, so I always have nearly full CPU credits. RAM is enough unless I'm building the latest version of my IRC bouncer, but hitting the paging file for a few minutes is no big deal.
