Elasticsearch process is very memory intensive / RAM consumption:

It's super-important to remember that spinning up VMs on the cloud is NOT free. In fact, you might spend more money on cloud VMs than using elastic.co's managed services. Elasticsearch is a memory hog and I found that very quickly, and with minor load, I had to dedicate 4GBs of RAM just for the Java heap space. Under heavy load, you'd have to dedicate more. All of that costs money.
