| Memorystore | Moderate | Valkey on Vultr Cloud Compute instances, or a Vultr Managed Database |
| Cloud Load Balancing | Easy | Vultr Load Balancer or HAProxy / Traefik |
| Cloud CDN | Moderate | Vultr CDN or Cloudflare |

Read the Google Cloud worked example for a full file taken end to end. Easy: a drop-in replacement. Moderate: the same software, self-hosted, so you patch, back up and fix it. Hard: no equivalent; redesign it, buy a SaaS, or leave it where it is. The full map, with every ratio and its derivation, is on the model page.

How to get your Google Cloud export
- 1Enable the BigQuery billing export and save one invoice month as CSV.
- 2Drop it on the calculator.
- 3Read the net figure and change any assumption.
The exact clicks, console links and a sample file to compare against are under “Where do I get this file?” on the calculator.
Questions we get asked
- What file do I upload?
- One month of a cost export: an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR 2.0 or legacy, CSV or Parquet) or a Cost Explorer CSV, a Google Cloud BigQuery billing export saved as CSV, or an Azure Cost Management export. “Where do I get this file?” next to the upload box has the exact clicks for each.
- Is my data uploaded?
- No. The file is read inside this browser tab by DuckDB-WASM and never leaves it; you can watch the network tab while it runs. The only thing we ever receive is the address you type if you email yourself the link, plus anonymous counts of what was used.
- How accurate is this?
- Servers, storage and traffic are priced from your actual usage at list prices, so that part is as good as the price list. Managed services without a usage model (queues, search, analytics) are priced by a ratio from our service map and carry ±50%. Engineer time is an assumption you can edit. The report shows what share of the figure is priced from usage and gives a likely range rather than a single number. A Cost Explorer CSV has service totals only, so hosts are estimated from spend, roughly ±25%.
- Can I move only part of it?
- Yes, and that is often the right first step. Storage and egress-heavy workloads move easily and save the most per hour of effort; a managed database or a serverless stack can stay where it is. Filter the services table by grade to see what moves cleanly.
- What about compliance and latency?
- Every destination publishes GDPR documentation and most hold ISO 27001; SOC 2 reports and HIPAA agreements are rarer, so check that provider’s trust page before planning. On latency: for European users, moving from an EU hyperscaler region to Falkenstein, Gravelines, Paris or Amsterdam changes little; for US users choose a US location. A CDN in front stays as it is; the report prices it separately.
Your Google Cloud bill on Vultr, in under a minute.
One month of a cost export is enough. It is read in your browser and never uploaded; only the number comes out. If the honest answer is “stay”, the report says so.
