compute has always been a trade-off between cost and performance most cloud providers hide this from you. you'll pick cheap or fast, and get rug pulled by an 8x CPU oversubscription obviously, we decided not to do that. our new pricing lets you choose exactly which trade-offs to prioritize want dirt cheap compute? try a spot VM for $0.036/h want faster and slightly less cheap? try a shared sandbox for $0.088 there's no generically "best" option compute has always been a trade-off, and making that decision transparent to customers is one of our most important jobs as a cloud provider
