  Cardano Stakepool on Raspberry Pi

It ain't "substantially more" for a blockchain node. Using Cardano as an example again, people have successfully run Cardano nodes off Raspberry Pis. Even going by the official recommendation of 2 cores / 12GB RAM / 50GB disk is pretty modest compared to what Gucci would need to replicate that; the "worst" thing there is the RAM use (which is a gross overestimate; this laptop on which I'm typing this comment is running a Cardano node and its Electron-based wallet GUI and Firefox with 30-ish tabs and KDE and all that is coming in at less than 9GB), but when you factor in the database servers, the application servers (unless you're giving customers direct access to the database, which for something that's not a blockchain is typically a very terrible idea), load balancers, gateways... you'd quickly surpass that 12GB mark (or even 24GB mark, if you want to keep two nodes running for fault-tolerance) while blowing the core count and disk use sky high out of the water.
