Or go all in on ARM: https://amperecomputing.com/altra/
Single socket Ampere Altra processor
Up to 80 cores per processor
2U form factor supported
80-core ARM CPU to bring lower power, higher density to a rack near you
Ampere is competing with Amazon and Nuvia for ARM-powered data-center supremacy.

Check out Jeff Geerling and see how he runs Drupal on Kubernetes using his Rpi Cluster.
Jeff can teach you how to set it up on a Raspberry Pi cluster.
Happy hosting
