Very interesting comparison, glad to see it. I don't have a comment on the content itself but I do have a note on the presentation.

The colors used for S3 and Azure Storage in the graphs are very near indistiguishable to me, as I have moderate red-green colorblindness. It's easier to tell apart on the bar graphs, since the patches of color are much larger, although I still have to work at it, and use the hints of the labels, but on the line graphs, it's basically impossible to tell apart. A darker shade of green would solve the problem for me personally, but I'm not all that bad a case, nor an expert on the best shades to pick for general color-blindness accessibility.

Just something to think about when presenting data like this.



Color blind here as well, I had to zoom in incredibly close to distinguish the difference.


Thanks for pointing this out, and my apologies! Will fix that going forward.
