What are the server resources used compared to other e-commerce options?

That would depend on the shop, its theme, how many modules are active. Scripts installed. 

Its wise to have plentiful resources which can be used when needed. Don't install a shop into a 2 GB RAM environment with little space just to safe a few bucks.

Could you compare thirty bees to other e-commerce solutions though. Say at install to production?

Some shops are easier and some are more complex. if you ask a general question you get a general answer. TB is faster as prestashop in an comparable environment with comparable visitor count.  When I work for people or companies I try to convince them to use a server environment which has plenty of room.

Shop-holder in Germany have different requirements than people in i.e. South America or even in GB. People in the EU could not use a generic shop as easily. Those generic shops need to be connected to API, no one click modules available.

I get that it's not one size fits all but couldn't you scale up or down as necessary with DigitalOcean or some similar host?

When having a shop I would not advice to take a mass hoster. Too much can go wrong. Say your hoster outphases a php version you rely on and your shop has 250 visitors a day. The host will gladly offer you a service to maintain that version at a cost. With VPS you can upscale without a gun to your head.

Aren't all Droplets on DigitalOcean VPS? I don't think they have much on them to begin with other than an OS.

DigitalOcean only provides VPS’s (Droplets), however, a VPS functions much like a Dedicated Server in many ways.

You’re able to choose your OS during deployment and you’ll receive root access which allows you to configure the VPS to your liking.

VPS’s are deployed using KVM, which is virtualization, however, the RAM that is allocated to your VPS is dedicated in a sense that no other VPS will be able to use it. You’re able to fully utilize 100%. There’s no burstable RAM (as there would be on an OpenVZ or similar VPS), so the RAM you see is the RAM you’ll receive.

CPU Cores are shared, though your Droplet gets it’s own share; whether that’s 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 CPU Cores depends on the Droplet size you choose.
