ec2instances.info

It's been open-source for 10+ years and the repo is linked in the top right of the site. Here's a link: https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info We'd greatly appreciate contributions!

tl;dr We re-wrote the entire codebase that was backing https://ec2instances.info/ - the popular EC2 instance price comparison tool. Its much, much faster. I'm Co-Founder & CEO of Vantage - we're a cloud cost management tool. We acquired ec2instances.info about four years ago. The site has grown from about 275,000 visitors to nearly 4,000,000 visitors in that time frame. The codebase backing it was...rough. It was over 10 years old and was never meant for this much usage or this much data....AWS has launched a lot of EC2 instances over the years. As a result, we did a complete re-write. We have a new modern codebase backing the site that makes it blazingly fast compared to its old self. We also can deliver much, much faster on product feature requests as well so if you have requests please feel free to open issues on the underlying repo he

This web page for comparing EC2 pricing using filtering https://instances.vantage.sh/?region=us-east-2 is open source https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info

Looks like someone opened one :) https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info/issues/666

It's community supported! We just pay the bills and maintain hosting it :) Do you mind opening an issue on the repo here? https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info Thank you for the report!

Hey HN, 10 years after the project began we have updated the UI for the cloud server comparison site known as EC2Instances.info. This refresh brings a sticky filter bar so you can scroll and see what filters are applied, a more compact navbar, and improved UX for comparing instances. I've also fixed numerous long standing UI bugs including: comparisons now load correctly on RDS and ElastiCache, sort by max ENI works, sort by RDS instance storage works, and all dropdowns have consistent behavior. For maintainers and contributors, all the frontend libraries are upgraded to their latest versions, https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info. Going forward, we are aware that the homepage size is quite large and have plans to address this. We have tried to be good stewards of this project and evolve it carefully. Eager to hear what you thin

Sorry for being harsh, but it is really screwed up for Firefox users. For me it's completely unusable, because when trying to filter it freezes for more than 20 seconds before displaying the filtered values. And that's on a rather recent desktop PC. There is an open bug report regarding that, however nothing has happened in the past year to fix it: https://github.com/vantage-sh/ec2instances.info/issues/586

I remember raising an issue[1] back in 2015 asking for the unit to be changed from `cores` to `vCPUs`. Small world. [1]: https://github.com/powdahound/ec2instances.info/issues/111

The problem is that the site is using a depricated json file to get the instances/prices. This is no longer being updated. AWS has a new API that is getting the updates but ec2instances.info is still working on updating. More info in this ticket: https://github.com/powdahound/ec2instances.info/issues/367

It stores some data in the url, but not all. I opened up a PR (https://github.com/powdahound/ec2instances.info/pull/202) to store the rest.

Up vote my issue. https://github.com/powdahound/ec2instances.info/issues/201

Check out http://ec2instances.info It will be even better when this PR is merged (soon) https://github.com/powdahound/ec2instances.info/pull/37
