We compared the performance of Standard and Optimized Droplets when running a CPU-intensive application, a React Boilerplate app with automated test scripts. We used a $40 Standard Droplet with 4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, and 160GB SSD storage, and an Optimized $40 Droplet with 2 dedicated vCPUs, 4GB RAM, and 25GB SSD storage. The Optimized Droplet outperformed the Standard Droplet in all tests, executing 37.3% faster when running sequentially. However, for applications that perform similarly and do not take full advantage of all CPUs, choosing the $40 Standard Droplet may be a better choice due to its additional memory and larger SSD. The test results showed a small improvement of 4.9% in using an Optimized Droplet compared to a Standard Droplet.
