- oefrha 7y agoAmazon Lightsail launched way after Linode and DO have been established in the low-cost segment, and it was slightly more expensive than Linode and DO when it launched. It appears they've lowered their prices again in order to capture the market but mind share is still low.
- pansa2 7y ago> mind share is still low. I can tell that - many people in this thread are using “AWS” as though it’s synonymous with “EC2”.

- tastroder 7y agoI assure you that the majority of users in these discussions is perfectly aware of the extent of the AWS ecosystem.
- thrwaway69 7y agoI like the AWS ecosystem but I wouldn't touch it for anything that doesn't pay me back for monthly rent. I build things with consideration to platform and vendor lock ins. Kube, containers, etc have resolved many deployment issues for me. For other things like authentication, logs, database, analytics, cache, search etc. There is parse, elastic/solid, postgres, redis, logio, ackee etc Obviously, there are still many spaces left which AWS cover but most applications don't need them. Compliance is a big hurdle for businesses which they pay for. For individuals experimenting, not so much.
- ksec 7y agoLast time I tested it Amazon Lightsail was also way slower.
- tyingq 7y agoIt is. The "1 vcpu" is basically a lie. They throttle Lightsail viciously based on use.
