AWS Latency¶
- Find the fastest region from your location Check AWS response time from you browser. Sharing my mini-project, it measures response time from AWS services from different regions base on your location. let me know what you think.
- Linkedin Discussion
- Don’t do just a single check, the first check will be a lot slower as DNS lookups will need to be done, etc.
- I’d recommend doing at least 3 checks getting an average.
- Run 6 checks (with a random 3-10 second delay between each one), the first can be ignored, the highest one is also ignored (as a likely outlier), then for the next 4 show the minimum, maximum and average (mean).
