When comparing cloud providers, it's easy to focus on the monthly cost of an instance.
But that's rarely the full picture.
Storage performance, IOPS, throughput, and the overall infrastructure design can have just as much impact on performance and long-term costs as the instance itself.
I'm curious how other teams approach this.
Do you benchmark infrastructure before choosing a cloud provider?
Has a benchmark ever changed your decision?
How much weight do you give to storage performance compared to instance pricing?
While looking into this topic, I found a benchmark comparing AWS and Civo using the same workload. It looks at CPU performance, storage performance, and overall cost instead of relying on feature comparisons.

I'd be interested to hear how your team evaluates cloud infrastructure before committing to a platform.
