I found out last year that 1GB RAM is not enough for TypeScript development (whose compiler runs on nodejs). I was building a fairly small TypeScript project on a Linux instance with 1GB and no GUI and no other processes hogging RAM. I was consistently having builds fail with errors about half of the time. Finally figured out that it was running out of RAM and if I turned off source map generation the errors went away. I didn't really need source maps in this case, as I was not developing on this machine, but it certainly would be a problem if I was trying to do development.Sure, there is a lot of development that can still be done with 1GB RAM, but you're going to run into limitations and it is far from "perfect"
