Cloud Provider Performance Monitoring: April 2023 Insights

Explore our insightful April 2023 report on the performance of top cloud providers. We've carefully assessed the health of these leading services by monitoring outages and issues throughout the month. Using data from their official status pages, we've normalized the information to create a clear and concise overview of their reliability. Find out how your favorite cloud provider stacks up in this essential report.

Please analyze the information with a grain of salt as each provider has their own framework for reporting incidents, and in no way one provider having more outages, means that they are worse than any other. Also we are comparing providers with very different sizes and market share.

In this report, we compare AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, Fly.io, Google Cloud, Heroku, Linode, Netlify, Vercel according to their reported outages.
