DBench.cloud has 🇪🇺 / 🇺🇸 tags

The “EU region” badge in your cloud console is no longer enough; who owns the provider is now just as important as where the server physically runs.
​
On Dbench.cloud’s cost calculator (https://dbench.cloud/costcalculator) you can now compare EU‑based and US‑based database architectures side‑by‑side on three axes at once:
– Jurisdiction (EU vs US ownership)
– Performance (HammerDB TPROC‑C TPM / New Orders per minute)
– Cost (monthly and yearly)

This makes it much easier to answer questions like:
– “What happens to my costs if I move from a US hyperscaler in an EU region to an EU‑owned provider?”
– “Can I keep or improve my throughput while reducing exposure to the US CLOUD Act and tightening my GDPR story?”
​
The calculator now shows:
– Clear 🇪🇺 / 🇺🇸 tags for each alternative, based on provider jurisdiction, not just region names
– DBRE‑optimized architectures that model realistic HA setups instead of single‑node toys
– Side‑by‑side views of current vs alternative monthly and yearly costs, including estimated savings

If you are responsible for database platforms, compliance, or cloud cost optimization, this is a good moment to sanity‑check your setup against EU‑based options.
