Did you know that DigitalOcean provides "High CPU" droplets?
- sitepodmatt 9y agoInteresting, I missed this announcement. This is definitely a step in the right direction to competing for CPU bound workloads. "Achieve up to 4x more CPU performance on High CPU vs Standard Droplets." I guess we can take this to mean that standard droplets virtual CPUs are contended at 4:1 - I would of thought it be higher.
- thekonqueror 9y agoYou should also check out Vultr's dedicated core plans [1]. I have ~50 instances running on Vultr and CPU performance / unixbench scores are significantly better than DO and Lightsail's similar sized instances.

- McBlorker 9y agoDisclosure: PM of High-CPU Droplets @ DigitalOcean I'd highly recommend people check out the performance of the High-CPU Droplets for any compute-bound tasks like CI/CD, batch processing or active front-end web servers. Someone from our team put together a comparison of compute series machines which includes GCE and you can see the price-to-performance ratio here is pretty solid for DigitalOcean: https://imgur.com/a/o16t2 https://imgur.com/a/o16t2
