Is amazon EC2 a microcomputer enough to easily configure node.js and redis?

I am developing a very simple portfolio website. Most likely, he hardly has traffic. I want to use node.js and redis for a backend application.

Since amazon ec2 has 1 year free of micro-instance, I was wondering if it would be good enough to host both redis and node.js on it.

As I said, the site will be very light and often inaccessible.

Thanks!

A micro-instance is more than enough for my own site, which runs nginx, wordpress, django and a few other random things.

I am sure that this will be more than enough for what you are doing (if it is not a number or I / O intensity ... and if you do not know, maybe this is not so). And hey, it's free, so why not? AWS has many cool features you can play with!

Amazon specs make me believe.

Obviously, redis is doubtful with allocated RAM, but this should be good for minimal traffic.

613 MiB memory
Up to 2 EC2 computing units (for short bursts)
EBS storage only
32-bit or 64-bit platform
I / O Performance: Low Available EBS-Optimized: No
API Name: t1.micro

My understanding says that it is free for new users, so just put your code there and check what happens. Another way is that it provides only about 650 MB of RAM. So you should be fine. Only when a large amount of data is generated by users will RAM become a bottleneck.
