Cloud infrastructure pricing is moving in a direction nobody wanted. DRAM contract prices rose 93% to 98% in a single quarter, and that cost is landing on database bills across the board, which means the instance you are running today is going to cost more over the next year.
The cost per query is a lever you can still move, and we ran the benchmark to show what that looks like in practice: Readyset in front of MySQL on the same hardware, 99.94% of reads served from cache, cost per million queries dropping from $1.36 to $0.0064, a gap that held under every projected price increase we modeled.
If you run a cloud database, here is the full analysis and reproducible benchmark.
