i guess then have to add more ram or add another server for scaling.

$320/month for DO VPS could be too high...
You could find (unmanaged) server with 32GB of ram for about $200...
Don't know the costs of running something like that on Amazon...

As for high-traffic optimization - you could also try out Varnish (instead of MemCache).
yes , thats what i thought.
i can manage 200 bucks dedicated server easily...
