As a related side note, I sent a support request to Vultr twice in the last week and both times I got a response within 5 minutes. All follow up responses for both those tickets were also within a few minutes.

Their uptime has been rock solid and performance consistently great for the 2 years I've been with them.

I dare say most projects (even moderately big ones) would do just fine without the mega cloud.


That's alright if EC2 is all you were using. Past a certain point though, it usually makes sense to begin using managed services like S3, BigQuery, lambda, etc.


I also use S3. I don't see why using Vultr prevents that.


What's your definition of moderately big?


My website was on the news a couple of days ago and was doing 2200 concurrent users for a while without breaking a sweat. Cheap hardware. Server-side rendering. Multiple database calls per user to 2 different database clusters.


That doesn't say much without knowing what the site is about.

2200 concurrent users reading a static HTML page is not the same as 2200 concurrent users trying to make a plane reservation.


Which is exactly why I explained what I did, including mentioning server-side rendering (means not static HTML).

This is the site: https://pricehipster.com


What about GCP and other providers?


when they're plotting %azure vs %aws, they should really be using the same range for both axes. then they could get rid of the dashed line that shows what the ratio is.
