Monitoring latency: Cloudflare Workers vs Fly vs Koyeb vs Railway vs Render
Monitoring latency: Cloudflare Workers vs Fly vs Koyeb vs Railway vs Render by freeatnet.eth543 🥝 • 3y • | |
AI summary of the linked articleOpenstatus compared latency across Cloudflare Workers, Fly.io, Koyeb, Railway and Render, using default or cheapest-tier settings and pinging each app every 10 minutes from six locations over two weeks in February 2024. Cloudflare Workers had the lowest average latency at 182ms with 100% uptime, though its Johannesburg checker was routed far from nearby data centers. Fly.io averaged 1,471ms because its machine cold-started, but its production instance, kept running, averaged 61ms. Railway averaged 381ms with one failure, and Render averaged 451ms with 12 failures, which the author attributed to cold starts. | |

 What struck me as odd here is how slow everything (apart from Cloudflare) is. I remember striving for a <=200ms P90 latency on API responses while building a large-scale platform about a decade ago; however, it now seems like that would get trumped by boot times of these platforms. Have we gone backwards in terms of speed? Am I misremembering something? | |
