The Trap of "Burstable" CPU Credits
Many users start on AWS Lightsail attracted by the low initial tier ($3.50 or $5/month). However, Lightsail uses AWS T-series virtual CPUs. These instances accumulate "CPU credits" when idle, and consume them when processing requests.
When a sudden traffic spike hits, an unoptimized database query runs, or your application compiles a build, your credit bucket empties. At that point, AWS automatically throttles your CPU performance down to its baseline allowance (as low as 10% to 20% of a core). Your website becomes unresponsive, visitors face 504 Gateway Timeouts, and your server appears frozen.
SkyRainCloud provides full dedicated KVM virtualization where CPU cycles are not stolen, limited, or artificially throttled. Whether you run at 20% or 100% capacity, your hardware consistently executes instructions at maximum clock speeds.
Unmetered 1 Gbps vs Painful AWS Egress Bills
AWS's biggest revenue center is egress bandwidth fees. If you host video files, game assets, backups, or high-traffic REST APIs, exceeding your Lightsail bandwidth limit can result in hundreds of dollars in unexpected credit card charges. SkyRainCloud provides unmetered 1 Gbps fiber connectivity with zero overage fees.
