- What does the Cloud Architecture Designer do?
- It reads your project requirements like a senior DevOps engineer and produces deployment architectures for AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure - a cost-effective serverless design and a traditional server-based alternative per platform - as interactive diagrams with cost estimates, trade-offs, and a concrete recommendation. Switch tabs to compare the same project across all three clouds.
- Should I choose serverless or traditional servers?
- It depends on traffic patterns and operational preferences. Serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run, Azure Functions) minimizes cost at low or spiky traffic and removes server management; VM-based designs give predictable performance and more control at sustained high load. The tool weighs both for your specific requirements on each platform.
- Are the cost estimates accurate?
- They are realistic ballparks based on public cloud pricing, intended for comparing the two options - not billing forecasts. Always validate with the provider's pricing calculator before committing.
- Is the Cloud Architecture Designer free?
- Yes - describe your project and generate architecture diagrams at no cost.
