Amazon Lightsail 1GB is no match for $10 VPS from Linode, DO, Vultr... Dec 06 2016 TLDR: Amazon Lightsail 1GB will melt down with less than 15% sustained cpu usage
Amazon Lightsail launched to much fanfare last week, threatening the business of competitors like DigitalOcean, Linode, OVH, Atlantic.net and many others who have long offered simple, cheap, all-included price VPS servers.
At VpsBenchmarks, we specialize in testing this type of VPS so we wasted no time firing up an instance of the 1GB 1 core $10 flavor of Lightsail. I setup our web app on this VPS, pointed traffic at it and also ran Sysbench tests.
