Luckily, you can experiment a lot within the Free Tier, especially for tests and simulations.
Anyways, which size and what kind of database were you migrating? Have you tried Aurora yet?
- lsiunsuex 11y agoMySQL RDS instance - don't remember the specific size, but large - multiple processors, high bandwidth, high disk. I was gonna put some automated load on it to show the boss performance would be comparable to our dedicated server at Rackspace, and just forgot to turn it off. The boss is happy with Rackspace and regardless of price, options, features, etc... he doesn't want to leave. I can only do, what the boss allows me to do. I don't hate Rackspace, I use them for other projects, but their service has gone down in recent years IMO.
- alexcasalboni 11y agoWell, AWS's costs have been constantly decreasing during the last years. I am actually quite impressed with the new RDS Aurora update, both as far as performance and pricing. Especially since migrating from MySQL is as complex as a configuration switch, with a 5x increase in performance!
