I just wanted to be extra clear about the Hobby plan and resources.
If i subscribe to the Hobby plan my resources assigned is 8 GB RAM / 8 vCPU per service. As long as a service resides within those resources it will be $5 per month. If a service requires 8GB RAM and 9 vCPU then I will be charge $20 in addition per month to $25 due to the extra CPU required for that service?
Rocket chat minimum specs require 3vCPU , 2GB and 40GB and that resides within the Hobby Plan so would be $5 per month with nothing in addition?
Apologies if i have not understood the documentation as expected. I am evaluating using the services here as the core of future projects.
Cheers

Hey daynelinx,
Hobby plan works by having a 5 dollar base-cost and then an additional cost for all resource usage, but the first 5 dollars worth of resources is free. Meaning to say that if you're running an application that uses 8 dollars worth of resources then your total would be 8 dollars. If you're running an application that requires 3 dollars worth of resource usage then the total would be 5 dollars.
In this case if you're running an application that requires 8GB RAM and 9vCPU then the total would be 80 dollars for ram (10 * 80) + 180 dollars for vCPU (20 * 9) for a total of 260 dollars, but the first 5 dollars of usage is free so subtract 5 dollars, but the base-cost of hobby plan is 5 dollars so add an additional 5 dollars. Bringing the total back to 260 dollars a month.
Here's a cost estimate based on the usage I've seen from launching RocketChat: RocketChat uses about 700mb RAM and has MongoDB that requires uses about 200mb ram + 0.1 vCPU which would cost you a total of about 10 dollars a month roughly (this is just an estimate and costs can differ depending on usage)
I hope this helps clear up any confusion
