The AWS instance in the post, t4g.small, has 2 GB of RAM. So it's not really comparable to the $4 DO droplet.
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoMy $5/month droplet started at 0.5 GB and the free upgrade to 1 GB of ram wasn’t even that long ago. Perhaps the image on this link will jog your memory of the old $5/month droplet stats: https://tutorialforest.com/upgrade-digitalocean-droplet-plans/ https://tutorialforest.com/upgrade-digitalocean-droplet-plan... Also, FWIW, I’ve load tested different VPSes between AWS, Linode and DO and found that for reasons I don’t understand, AWS ones perform considerably worse than the other two platforms VPSes with identically listed stats.
