EC2Instances.info is a comparison and pricing tool for Amazon EC2 instances and related cloud services.
The tool solves the problem of tedious manual comparison of EC2 instance specifications and pricing across AWS's official channels. It aggregates instance metrics and cost data into a searchable, filterable interface. The underlying architecture uses a Go-based scraper that fetches data from AWS, Azure, and GCP APIs, enriches it with historical launch date information, and serves it through a Next.js frontend written in TypeScript.
The tool suits teams and individuals who need to evaluate EC2 instance options for cost optimization and capacity planning. It is particularly valuable for FinOps practitioners and cloud architects making purchasing decisions. The project welcomes community contributions through pull requests and feature requests via its issue tracker, and maintains a Slack community channel for discussion.
The maintainers respond to new issues and pull requests within a few days. The issue tracker shows consistent activity focused on feature requests, data requests, and bug reports.
