Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)
A benchmarking and cost analysis tool that compares PostgreSQL performance across 23 EC2 instance types on AWS, with an interactive visualization to select the cheapest instance that meets throughput and data size requirements. It's interesting because it provides concrete, workload-specific data (90% read/10% write, 32 concurrency) to guide infrastructure decisions, though it is a niche resource rather than a reusable software project.
Target audience: devops, backend devs, database administrators
