Which cluster mode should I choose for most efficient graph modelling?

Is there a difference between cluster modes in this case? Can it be that Graphx would work better on single than on standart cluster or high concurrency cluster (for multiple users)? Does less concurrent cluster wourld be more efficient for graph modelling?

Single - for development purposes,

high concurrency - when multiple users run notebooks at the same time in parallel,

so usually standard is the best option.

Regarding VM I bet compute optimized.

I recommend also to read ebook "Spark GraphX in action" https://livebook.manning.com/book/spark-graphx-in-action/table-of-contents/

I´d say start as cheap as possible and check the runtime.
