AWS

This is an analysis of the most cost-effective AWS machines to run YugabyteDB.

• 3 nodes of 16 cores each with replication factor 3, fully cached workload can handle 100K reads and 20K writes. See this performance report for details.
• 3 nodes of 8 cores each with replication factor 3, fully uncached workload with 1.4TB total can handle77K read ops/sec. See this post for more details.
• The app needs between 1TB and 2TB of storage per node.
• Analyzed many other machine types, concluded they are not as effective to run YugabyteDB
