Hi, 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.

One 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.

  oh... Sounds nice. On it.

    it's a regexp field, so `[mrc]5.large` will select the same as the longer query above

      Technically 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.

I 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...

  If 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.

Looks 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.
