Stop Overprovisioning: Why Your Containers Need Spot, Not On-Demand
We argue that most containerized workloads should run on Spot VMs, not On-Demand. Here's the break-even math, the exceptions, and how to avoid getting burned.
Cloud instances, pricing, and compute services.

VMs, Fargate, or Kubernetes for containers? Here's a no-nonsense guide to picking the right compute, with a cost mistake that trips up almost everyone...
Edge computing isn't about where your servers sit; it's about hitting latency budgets. We treat it as a compute placement decision, not a hardware cul...
Containers don't run on magic. We compare Fargate and EC2 for container workloads, with real prices and a clear recommendation for most teams.
The common advice to default to Kubernetes for every container workload is wrong. Here's how ECS Fargate and EKS on EC2 really compare on cost, contro...
On-Demand is the expensive default. Spot capacity and Arm chips like Graviton cut the bill for a lot of workloads. Here's where they fit, where they d...
The cloud market is booming, but you're overpaying if you stick to On-Demand. Here's how to use Spot, Savings Plans, and Graviton to cut costs by up t...
Serverless isn't one-size-fits-all. I've dug into pricing, limits, and real-world use cases to show you when AWS Lambda wins, when Azure Functions mak...
Spot instances can slash container costs by up to 90%, but eviction risk is real. We weigh the savings against the operational headaches and recommend...
Compare AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud on price, performance, and flexibility to find the best compute service for your workloads.
We compare AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions on pricing, performance, and ecosystem fit, and argue which wins for most teams.
A no-nonsense breakdown of AWS ECS, Azure Container Apps, and Google Cloud Run for running containers. We cut the marketing fluff and tell you what ac...
What's edge computing, really? It's not a new cloud. It's about putting compute where it matters. Here's how to decide if you need it, and what to use...
