Background

The market lacks a tool for developers to compare different database products before making a final decision. A site, where all available cloud providers' database performance and cost can be demonstrated, is desired.

Tech Stack (at least this is expected)

Used

• Golang.
• Next.js with React 18.
• Ant Design as component library.
• Nivo for chart visualization.
• Cron task by GitHub Actions.

Requirement

• Go v1.7
• pnpm for package management

How to start?

This project is under development and is very unstable. The way to start this project may improve as process goes on.

Fetching Data

We maintain our data through a GitHub Actions CronJob. It runs every day to make sure the pricing data is up to date. The data on dbcost.com is provided at here.

Installing Frontend Dependencies

cd ./frontend && pnpm install

Starting the Frontend

pnpm dev

Now dbcost is available at localhost:3000

Seeding data manually

If you would like to fetch the latest data manually, please apply for a GCP API KEY with access to the Cloud Billing API first. For AWS, the API is open to everyone, you do not need a API KEY to access relevant resource.

First set environment variable:

export API_KEY_GCP={YOUR_API_KEY}

Then run the following command:

go run ./seed/main/go
