Reducing Your Database Hosting Costs: DigitalOcean vs. AWS vs. Azure

Scalegrid

Since database hosting is more dependent on memory (RAM) than storage, we are going to compare various instance sizes ranging from just 1GB of RAM up to 64GB of RAM so you can see how costs vary across different application workloads. Does it affect latency? Yes, you can see an increase in latency. EC2 instances. VM instances.
