As far as I can remember, the $5 droplet always had 1 GB of RAM. The current $4 droplet is only 0.5 GB.

The AWS instance in the post, t4g.small, has 2 GB of RAM. So it's not really comparable to the $4 DO droplet.

> In economics inflation has a specific definition: a general rise in the price level. It can be caused by all kinds of things.

When the prices of all goods and services go up, it is the thing you measure them against that is going down. If there were no currency, there would be no inflation, only changes in relative prices.
