One database container or many? (lemmy.world)

I'm self hosting a lot of small apps that require databases to function. So far, each stack has its own database, but I'm wondering if it would be better to centralise the data into one single database instance

All the apps are low traffic (it's just me), and security concerns are minimal (no sensitive data)

Does anyone have any advice on this?

I did the opposite, I started with one database instance but kept having issues and the maintainer told me to use multiple so now I have a ton of separate ones
