To optimize your VPS for handling big data, several key measures should be taken:
1. Memory optimization: Make changes to the OS settings for efficient use of available memory. Increase the swap page size, configure swap memory to avoid memory shortages.
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
2. Process Management: Configure tasks and processes on the server so that they do not conflict with each other and do not overload the server. Use monitoring tools to control processes.

htop
3. Database configuration: Optimize the database for working with large amounts of data. Use indexes, caching, splitting data into tables, and other approaches to improve performance.
ALTER TABLE table_name ENGINE=InnoDb;
CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name(field);
4. Using cache: Install and configure a cache to speed up data access and reduce server load. Use memcached or Redis to store the cache.
sudo apt-get install memcached
sudo systemctl enable memcached
5. Monitoring and analysis: Install monitoring tools such as Grafana, Prometheus to track server performance and respond to problems in a timely manner.
sudo apt-get install prometheus
sudo systemctl enable prometheus
Applying these recommendations will help optimize your VPS for working with big data and ensure stable and efficient server operation.
