Show HN: Another AWS EC2 instance comparison tool that's always up to date
- jitbit 5y agoHi, author here. Actually the sole reason I've built yet another EC2 instance comparison table is because my favorite "goto" app at "ec2instances.info" was acquired, became a bit slow, lags updates and has some bugs. Also, most of the similar tools either hard-code or "cache" the pricing info in some way, this one just pulls the live data from AWS docs endpoints.
- dygd 5y agoOne quite useful feature of the other site is comparing instance types by typing something like "m5.large|r5.large|c5.large" in the search box.
- jitbit 5y agooh... Sounds nice. On it.
- fragmede 5y agoit's a regexp field, so `[mrc]5.large` will select the same as the longer query above
- jitbit 5y agoTechnically speaking, the dot "." is also a regexp character that matches any symbol ;) Anyhow, I've added a name search box using the "like" pattern, going to look into regex later this week.

- mdaniel 5y agoI hope you have either considered donating[1] or otherwise have an agreement with gnuns because if this project ever catches on, it's going to shove a lot of content through what appears to be a development tool Also, kind of related, pulling things directly from AWS APIs are always going to be ... fun, so I hope either your JS, allorigins.win, or both, have some retry and backoff logic in place 1 = https://github.com/gnuns/allOrigins/issues/89#issuecomment-930525896 https://github.com/gnuns/allOrigins/issues/89#issuecomment-9...
- jitbit 5y agoIf this ever catches on, I'll put up my own CORS-proxy or donate, of course. P.S. Actually, looking at the http headers, the request is being cached by Cloudflare so no load on the tool.
- electroly 5y agoLooks nice, I will try this out. I have the same complaint about ec2instances.info -- it's so slow! The limitation of 1-year convertible RIs in us-east-1 only is no problem; that's what I want anyway.
