Sharding RAM (switching from internal to traditional sharding)
How much RAM typically does a bot with around 40 shards use? I'm switching my bot from internal sharding to traditional sharding and I'm concerned about how much of a RAM increase I'm going to get by doing that and if my server will have enough RAM for what is needed š

ā¢ What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

Well lets say with internal sharding, my bot can get up to 3.5GB of RAM usage with 40 shards
How much more would it be with traditional sharding?
Is it possible to figure that out in advance?
No, what I'm trying to say is it would depend on lots of different factors, such as the number of servers the bot is running on, the complexity of the bot's functionality, and the size of the cached data, etc..
A ballpark would be like 2-12GB but it could be even more
You would be better off overcompensating and then downgrading later if you have head room
