It doesnt take much to host a static website. Its all the dynamic stuff/frameworks/db/etc that bogs everything down.

Still, 128MB is not enough to even run Debian let alone Apache/NGINX. I’m on my phone, but it doesn’t seem like the author is using Cloudflare or another CDN. I’d like to know what they are doing.
128MB is more than enough to run Debian and serve a static site. I had no issue with doing it a decade ago and it still works fine.
How much memory do you think it actually takes to accept a TLS connection and copy files from disk to a socket?
Modern Linux is much less frugal these days:

* Thin clients with only 256 MiB RAM and 400 MHz are possible, though more RAM and faster processors are recommended.
* For workstations, diskless workstations and standalone systems, 1500 MHz and 1024 MiB RAM are the absolute minimum requirements. For running modern webbrowsers and LibreOffice at least 2048 MiB RAM is recommended.
